The dorsal hippocampus (DH) is critically involved in the acquisition and expression of trace and contextual fear conditioning. NMDA/glutamate receptor-mediated transmission is thought to be one mechanism mediating the plastic changes that support long-term memories in the DH. However, their precise

In a recent contribution to this journal, reviewed data regarding the involvement of the hippocampus in classical fear conditioning. The authors focused essentially on the role of the dorsal hippocampus and concluded that, in accordance with prevalent views that hippocampus-dependent memory involve
The hippocampus is believed to be an important structure for learning tasks that require temporal processing of information. The trace classical conditioning paradigm requires temporal processing because the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (US) are temporally separated by an
Contextual fear conditioning by 18-and 23-day-old rats was compared in two training contexts, a transparent Plexiglas chamber or a black Plexiglas chamber. As measured by a conditioned defensive freezing response, older rats displayed more contextual fear than younger rats. At both ages conditioning
## Abstract Trace conditioning relies on the maintained representation of a stimulus across a trace interval, and may involve a persistent trace of the conditioned stimulus (CS) and/or a contribution of contextual conditioning. The role of hippocampal structures in these two types of conditioning w
