摘要
The effects of amygdalar dopamine receptors (D1R and D2R) down-regulation on the behavior in different conditioned defensive paradigms were investigated using lentiviral-mediated RNA interference. Immunohistochemical staining showed that lentiviral vectors were expressed in both neurons (average 19%) and astrocytes (73%). Downregulation of D1R impaired acquisition and accelerated extinction of auditory fear conditioning, facilitated passive avoidance extinction. At the beginning of learning in the Morris water maze, rats with D1R reduction failed more frequently to find the hidden platform compared to control animals. The behavior of rats with high freezing level was more impacted than animals with low freezing level by D1R downregulation in amygdala. Down regulation of D2R facilitated extinction of auditory fear conditioning and passive avoidance. The results indicate different role of amygdalar D1R and D2R, D1R, in contrast to D2R, plays an important role in the aversive learning and in the expression of conditioned fear in the form of longlasting freezing. D1R and D2R in amygdala are essential for fear retention to extinction.
