Fear Conditioning
Objective: Assessment of cue and context fear conditioning in ASIC1-null mice to test amygdala-dependent fear learning and determine the role of ASIC1 in fear conditioning behavior
This is a Fear Conditioning protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 3 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2003 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Cue fear conditioning
ASIC1-null mice were subjected to cue fear conditioning to assess amygdala-dependent fear learning
Note: This is a standard fear conditioning paradigm testing associative learning between a cue and an aversive stimulus

“ASIC1-null mice displayed deficits in cue and context fear conditioning”
Context fear conditioning
ASIC1-null mice were subjected to context fear conditioning to assess amygdala-dependent fear learning
Note: This is a standard fear conditioning paradigm testing associative learning between environmental context and an aversive stimulus

“ASIC1-null mice displayed deficits in cue and context fear conditioning”
Baseline fear assessment
Baseline fear behavior was assessed in ASIC1-null mice using the elevated plus maze
Note: Baseline fear was found to be intact in ASIC1-null mice despite deficits in fear conditioning

“baseline fear on the elevated plus maze was intact”
