Fear conditioning induces expression of patched 1 (Ptc1) and Gli1. (A) Mice were given 15 tone-footshock pairings, and the expression of the Ptc1 protein in the basolateral amygdala was determined by Western blotting analysis at 1, 3, and 7 days after conditioning. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. naïve (n = 8 mice/group). (B) The expression of the Gli1 protein in the BLA was determined by Western blotting analysis at 1, 3, and 7 days after conditioning. **p < 0.01 vs. naïve (n = 5–6 mice/group). (C) The expression of the Gli1 protein in the BLA was determined by Western blotting analysis at 1 day after conditioning in naïve, unpaired, and paired mice. *p < 0.05 vs. naïve and unpaired (n = 5 mice/group).
