## Abstract The hippocampus is an essential neural structure in developing contextual memory in a situation in which rapid development of associative learning should occur. We tested a subregionβspecific contribution in the hippocampus to memory acquisition and retrieval, using the contextual fearβ

## Abstract The role of glutamatergic NMDA receptor channels (NMDARs) in the induction of longβterm potentiation (LTP) has been well established. In contrast, whether or not NMDARs contribute to the expression of LTP has been an issue of debate. In this study, we investigated the contribution of NM
## Abstract The dorsal and ventral subregions of the hippocampus likely play dissociable roles in some forms of learning. For example, we have previously demonstrated that temporary inactivation of ventral, but not dorsal, hippocampus dramatically impaired the acquisition of trace fear conditioning
The AMPA/KA receptor antagonist 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) and the NMDA receptor antagonist 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate (D-APV) were used to investigate the contribution of excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors to graded bursting activity recorded in the CA1 region of the rat hippoc
