Systemic corticosterone enhances fear memory extinction in rats: Involvement of the infralimbic medial prefrontal cortex GABAA and GABAB receptors

Abstract Purpose The infralimbic (IL) subregion of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) regulates the extinction of conditioned fear memory. Glucocorticoid and gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are expressed in the mPFC and are also critical in fear extinction. This study investigated the poss...
