Abstract: Fear and traumata generate some of the longest-lived memories, which contribute to the elevated life-time prevalence of stress and anxiety-related disorders. Despite the corresponding need to better understand how such long-lasting fear memories can be attenuated, surprisingly little is known about this process. In this talk, I will present our recent findings that help to better understand remote fear memory attenuation from a circuit and cellular perspective.
