Dopamine D2-like receptors modulate unconditioned fear: role of the inferior colliculus.

Dopamine D2-like receptors modulate unconditioned fear: role of the inferior colliculus.

BACKGROUND: A reduction of dopamine release or D2 receptor blockade in the terminal fields of the mesolimbic system clearly reduces conditioned fear. Injections of haloperidol, a preferential D2 receptor antagonist, into the inferior colliculus (IC) enhance the processing of unconditioned aversive i...
