Abstract

Pavlovian fear conditioning is one of the most common and well-understood methods for studying fear learning. However, research is predominantly performed in males. Recently, in a classical Pavlovian fear conditioning paradigm, Gruene and colleagues described an active conditioned fear response ('darting') prevalent in female rats that better maintain an extinction memory.
