Double Dissociation of Amygdala and Hippocampal Contributions to Trace and Delay Fear Conditioning Jonathan D. Raybuck*, K. Matthew Lattal Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, United States of America Published on Jan. 19th, 2011

1 Introduction A key finding in studies of the neurobiology of learning memory is that the amygdala is critically involved in Pavlovian fear conditioning. This is well established in delay-cued and contextual fear conditioning However, surprisingly little is known of the role of the amygdala in trace conditioning.

2 Introduction Trace fear conditioning, in which the CS and US are separated in time by a trace interval, requires the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. It is possible that recruitment of cortical structures by trace conditioning alters the role of the amygdala compared to delay fear conditioning, where the CS and US overlap.

3 Methods To investigate the involvement of the dorsal hippocampus and amygdala in trace fear conditioning, they temporarily inactivated these regions via intracranial infusion of muscimol, a GABA A receptor agonist, prior to trace or delay fear conditioning. To further examine amygdala contributions to trace and contextual conditioning, muscimol was infused before or after conditioning and before different trace fear conditioning protocols.

4 Methods Subjects: 159, 8–12 week old, male C57Bl6/J mice Drugs: Muscimol in 0.25 ul PBS, was infused at 0, 0.25, or 0.5 ug/side at a rate of 0.25 ml/min through stainless steel cannulae into the DH (26 g) or amygdala (33 g). Apparatus:21.5 cm circular plexiglas chambers, 85dB CS(65dBbackground noise), a 0.35 mA footshock US Surgical Procedures: DH coordinates :A/P -1.7, M/L 1.5, D/V -2.3 mm Amygdala coordinates: A/P -1.46, M/L 3.1, D/V -4.8 mm

5 Methods Conditioning: In trace fear Each session began with activation of a house light, 2 minutes after which a 30 s CS was activated, followed 30 s later by a 2 s US presentation. The delay fear conditioning was similar, except that the US was presented during the final 2s of the CS. Testing: To test for contextual learning, 24 hr following training, mice were placed in the training apparatus, the house light was activated and freezing was assessed for 5 min.

6 Methods To test for cued learning, 48 hr following training mice were placed in the cued-testing apparatus and assessed for generalized freezing for 3 min, followed by two 3 min-long CS presentations separated by a 3 min ITI, followed with a 3 min post-CS period. Freezing was assessed across the entire session, and for analysis the 3 minute, Pre-CS, ITI, and Post-CS periods were combined and reported as ‘‘Altered’’ and the 2 CS presentations were combined and reported as ‘‘CS’’. Freezing was defined as the absence of all movement except respiration assessed for one second at ten second intervals by an observer unaware of treatment assignments and reported as percent freezing.

7 Results Infusion of muscimol into the DH disrupts acquisition/consolidation of trace (B) and contextual (A & B) but not delay conditioning (B)

8 Results Muscimol infusion into the amygdala disrupts delay (C) and contextual (C&D), but not trace conditioning (D).

9 Results These results suggest that the amygdala may be differently involved in trace conditioning than in contextual and delay conditioning. Additionally, deficits in vehicle compared to sham in contextual (A, B, C & D) and CS freezing (B & C) show that disruption of DH or amygdala can interfere with conditioning.

10 Results Amygdala inactivation effects in Trace Conditioning are independent of Training Protocol (Figure 3A, B) Amygdala Inactivation Pre- or Post-Training produces deficits in contextual but not trace fear conditioning(Figure 3C )

11 Discussion Inactivation of the DH with muscimol produces deficits in trace but not delay conditioned CS freezing, while inactivation of the amygdala produces deficits in delay but not trace conditioned CS freezing. These findings suggest that amygdala independent circuitry can support trace fear conditioning.

12 Discussion The absence of an effect of amygdala inactivation on trace fear conditioning is strengthened by the presence of effects of amygdala inactivation on contextual and delayed fear conditioning, as well as by the effects of hippocampal inactivation on trace fear conditioning. Whether these findings are because of distinct GABA A receptor involvement in these forms of learning or distinct regional involvement in these tasks will require further study.

13 Discussion Brain regions involved in trace fear conditioning are highly interconnected. There may be alternate pathways to trace conditioning. Thesefindings add a level of complexity to current thinking about the circuitry underlying fear learning and shows that trace fear conditioning is supported by circuitrydistinct from that of delay and contextual conditioning.
