Learning and memory: Catching fear memories

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 455 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.95 Author: Sian Lewis Memory traces of long-term auditory fear memories are stored in the auditory cortex. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are stable components of the extracellular matrix that could potentially provide a scaffold for long-term synaptic plasticity. In a model of auditory fear conditioning, mRNAs encoding three lecticans —
