Hippocampal and amygdalar gene expression profiling in a rat model of contextual generalization KU Leuven
My project's main focus is to investigate the genetic underpinnings of generalization of context conditioning, an important mechanism in the development of pathological anxiety. More specifically, I will investigate the role of the hippocampus and amygdala in contextual generalization to gain more insight in the individual genetic differences that may favor "pathological" generalization versus "healthy" discrimination. “Imagine a young woman ...
