    Kiriana K Cowansage
    Center for Neural Science, New York University, New York, USA
    Curr Mol Pharmacol 3:12-29. 2010
    ..We conclude by emphasizing the importance of characterizing BDNF signaling cascades in behaviorally-relevant networks, to identify potential drug targets for novel therapeutic interventions...

    Joshua P Johansen
    Center for Neural Science, Department of Psychology, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:12692-7. 2010
    ..These results demonstrate in vivo optogenetic control of LA neurons and provide compelling support for the idea that fear learning is instructed by aversive stimulus-induced activation of LA pyramidal cells...
  4. ncbi Preventing the return of fear in humans using reconsolidation update mechanisms
    Daniela Schiller
    Center for Neural Science, New York University, New York, New York 10003, USA
    Nature 463:49-53. 2010
    ..These findings demonstrate the adaptive role of reconsolidation as a window of opportunity to rewrite emotional memories, and suggest a non-invasive technique that can be used safely in humans to prevent the return of fear...

    Marie H Monfils
    Center for Neural Science, 4 Washington Place, Room 809, New York University, New York, NY 10003 6621, USA
    Mol Pharmacol 72:235-7. 2007
    ..Each induces phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein, which binds to the BDNF promoter, leading to BDNF expression in the LA, and contributes to fear memory consolidation...

    Linnaea E Ostroff
    Center for Neural Science, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:9418-23. 2010
    ..We conclude that LA synapse size changes bidirectionally with learning and that the spine apparatus has a central role in regulating synapse size and local translation...
