MicroRNA regulation of fear-related memory [ 2013 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Timothy Bredy (Principal investigator)

Brief description Emotionally traumatic experiences are well remembered and, in some instances, frequent reminders of these events can lead to the development of fear-related anxiety disorders such as phobia or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The experiments outlined in this proposal will examine how a novel epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation contributes to the transition from the retrieval of a fear memory to its inhibition through a process called extinction.
