PSD-95-nNOS blockers and NMDARs antagonists oppositely regulate BDNF expression. (A) Design of the experiments for (B,C). (B) Freezing behavior measured during extinction trial and retrial of extinction memory (n = 8). (C) Immunoblots showing BDNF expression in the dorsal CA3 after contextual fear extinction (n = 4). (D) Design of the experiments for (E–H). (E) Effect of intra-CA3 ZL006 on fear extinction (n = 12–13) and BDNF expression in the dorsal CA3 (n = 4). (F) Effect of LV-nNOS1–133-GFP in the CA3 on fear extinction (n = 6) and BDNF expression in the dorsal CA3 (n = 3). (G) Effect of intra-CA3 MK801 on fear extinction (n = 12–14) and BDNF expression in the dorsal CA3 (n = 6–7). (H) Effect of intra-CA3 RO25-6981 on fear extinction (n = 12) and BDNF expression in the dorsal CA3 (n = 6). Ext: extinction. Con: fear conditioning.
