From: Pavlovian fear memory induced by activation in the anterior cingulate cortex
ACC inactivation by a GABA A receptor agonist impairs fear memory by foot shock. (a,b) Mice receiving muscimol microinjection (1 μg/μl, 0.5 μl/each side, n = 6 mice, black bars) into bilateral ACC 15 min before conditioning showed reduced auditory (a) and contextual (b) fear memory induced by classic foot shock conditioning). * P < 0.05 compared with the saline treated group (n = 6, open bars). (c) Microinjection sites in the ACC. Filled circles: muscimol group; open circles, saline group.
