Depending on the threatening condition (conditioned or unconditioned), blockade of D2-like dopaminergic receptors can reduce or increase the aversion of the situation, suggesting a dual role for dopamine in aversive states. The aim of the present study is…

Studies have shown that exposure to aversive conditioned stimuli leads to increased dopamine release in some structures, such as the amygdala and the nucleus accumbens. Such studies were mostly performed on males. Potential gender differences, taking into account, for example, the fact that the femal…
Experiences inducing fear can lead to persistent and debilitating memories. The process of extinguishing conditioned fear responses involves establishing new memories that counteract the previously association with fear.
