Transitions in infant learning are modulated by dopamine within the amygdala
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Behavioral transitions Young infant rats paradoxically prefer odors paired with shock but older pups learn aversions. This transition is amygdala- and corticosterone-dependent. Microarray results showed downregulated dopaminergic presynaptic function in the amygdala with preference learning. Corticosterone injected 8-day-old pups and untreated 12-day-old pups learn aversions and had dopaminergic upregulation in the amygdala.
