Dopamine D1-like receptors in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex regulate contextual fear conditioning (2019)
Journal Article
Stubbendorff, C., Hale, E., Cassaday, H. J., Bast, T., & Stevenson, C. W. (2019). Dopamine D1-like receptors in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex regulate contextual fear conditioning. Psychopharmacology, 236(6), 1771-1782. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-018-5162-7

Rationale Dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) signalling is involved in contextual fear conditioning. The D1R antagonist SCH23390 impairs the acquisition of contextual fear when administered systemically or infused locally into the dorsal hippocampus or ba...
