Pavlovian fear conditioning and fear extinction across adolescent development. Early adolescent (4-week old) mice showed significantly more freezing during conditioning than adults (8-week old), and both early adolescent and peri-adolescent (6-week old) mice generally froze more during extinction learning than adults (A). Age-groups showed an equivalent decrease in freezing during extinction training (B). n=12/age-group. *P<.05. Data in Figures 1–4 are Means ±SEM.
