Difference between Amygdala and Fear conditioning

Amygdala vs. Fear conditioning

The amygdala (plural: amygdalae; also corpus amygdaloideum; Latin from Greek, ἀμυγδαλή, amygdalē, 'Almond', 'tonsil') is one of two almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans. Fear conditioning is a behavioral paradigm in which organisms learn to predict aversive events.

Similarities between Amygdala and Fear conditioning

Amygdala and Fear conditioning have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Classical conditioning, Fear processing in the brain, Hippocampus, Intercalated cells of the amygdala, Long-term potentiation, Memory consolidation, Posttraumatic stress disorder, Synaptic plasticity.

Classical conditioning

Classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) refers to a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a bell).

Fear processing in the brain

Many experiments have been done to find out how the brain interprets stimuli and how animals develop fear responses.

Hippocampus

The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek ἱππόκαμπος, "seahorse" from ἵππος hippos, "horse" and κάμπος kampos, "sea monster") is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates.

Intercalated cells of the amygdala

The intercalated (ITC) cells of the amygdala are a group of GABAergic neurons situated between the basolateral and central nuclei of the amygdala that are important for inhibitory control over the amygdala.

Long-term potentiation

In neuroscience, long-term potentiation (LTP) is a persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity.

Memory consolidation

Memory consolidation is a category of processes that stabilize a memory trace after its initial acquisition.

Synaptic plasticity

In neuroscience, synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity.
