Fear learning has no effect on precursor cell activity and cell proliferation in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) (a) Schematic of the contextual fear conditioning protocol and BrdU administration. (b) All animals showed robust context fear conditioning (n=8 in each group). (c, d) There was a significant increase in the number of BrdU-labeled cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus (f) following fear conditioning, but no change in the number of BrdU-labeled cells in the BLA (e) of conditioned versus control animals (conditioned: n=6, control: n=7; *P<0.05). (e, f) There was no change in the number (e) or size (f) of neurospheres in the BLA or hippocampus following contextual fear conditioning (conditioned: n=13, control: n=12).
