Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Division Stress Neurobiology, The Children s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA 19104, United States
Physiol Behav 103:342-51. 2011
..This may be a structural basis for heightened arousal in females, an effect which may, in part, account for the sex bias in incidence of stress-related psychiatric disorders...
- The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis is critically involved in enhancing associative learning after stressful experience
Debra A Bangasser
Department of Psychology, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA
Behav Neurosci 119:1459-66. 2005
..These data indicate that stressful experience induces persistent changes in the BNST that are necessary for enhancing learning well after the stressful event has ceased...

- Neurogenesis and learning: acquisition and asymptotic performance predict how many new cells survive in the hippocampus
Christina Dalla
Department of Psychology and Center for Collaborative Neuroscience, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA
Neurobiol Learn Mem 88:143-8. 2007
..These data support the idea that learning and not simply training increases the survival of the new cells in the hippocampus...
- Trace conditioning and the hippocampus: the importance of contiguity
Debra A Bangasser
Department of Psychology and Center for Collaborative Neuroscience, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, USA
J Neurosci 26:8702-6. 2006
..Therefore, the dependence of traditional trace paradigms on the hippocampus can be attributed to the absence of temporal contiguity...
- The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala is necessary to induce the opposing effects of stressful experience on learning in males and females
Jaylyn Waddell
Department of Psychology and Center for Collaborative Neuroscience, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, USA
J Neurosci 28:5290-4. 2008
..Thus, the BLA is necessary to induce the long-term effect of stressful experience on conditioning regardless of sex and direction of modulation...
