It is well established that stress has a major impact on memory, driven by the concerted
action of various stress mediators on the brain. Recent years, however, have seen …

Glucocorticoid stress hormones are crucially involved in modulating mnemonic processing
of emotionally arousing experiences. They enhance the consolidation of new memories …

Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are retrograde neuromodulators with important functions in a
wide range of physiological processes, but their in vivo dynamics remain largely …

The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has emerged as a central integrator linking the
perception of external and internal stimuli to distinct neurophysiological and behavioural …

We review recent work on the role of intrinsic amygdala networks in the regulation of
classically conditioned defensive behaviors, commonly known as conditioned fear. These …

The laws governing cannabis are evolving worldwide and associated with changing
patterns of use. The main psychoactive drug in cannabis is Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) …

Preclinical and clinical studies implicate endocannabinoids (eCBs) in fear extinction, but the
underlying neural circuit basis of these actions is unclear. Here, we employed in vivo …

Associative memory formation is essential for an animal's survival by ensuring adaptive
behavioral responses in an ever-changing environment. This is particularly important under …

The last 10 years have witnessed a surge of interest for the mechanisms underlying the
acquisition and extinction of classically conditioned fear responses. In part, this results from …

The discovery of cannabinoid receptors and subsequent identification of their endogenous
ligands (endocannabinoids) in early 1990s have greatly accelerated research on …
