Funded Activity Summary

The neural substrates of a false fear memory in rats. This project aims to use laboratory rodents to study false memory of an aversive experience (false fear memory). Memory is not always a faithful record of an experience. Particularly under emotional circumstances, events can be remembered in ways they never occurred. This project studies how a false fear memory forms, and the neural substrates of this memory in the amygdala and hippocampus. The findings should advance knowledge about how the brain represents events, how retrieved event representations associate with aspects of present events, and how learning about retrieved-but-absent events blurs the line between fantasy and reality.
