Abstract: HIGHLIGHTSWe investigate extinction learning with pigeons under appetitive conditions.We block NMDARs in the amygdala or the (pre)motor arcopallium during extinction.Blocking NMDARs in the amygdala impairs extinction acquisition.Blocking arcopallial NMDARs impairs consolidation of extinction memory.We show… read more here.
