During the expression of fear-related behaviors, the LA engages the central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA), which, as the principal output nucleus, projects to areas of the hypothalamus and brain stem that mediate the autonomic, endocrine, and behavioral responses associated with fear and anxiety (Schafe et al. 2001). The molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie synaptic plasticity in amygdala-dependent learned fear is an area of very active investigation (Shumyatsky et al. 2002). Long-term potentiation (LTP) in the LA appears to be a critical mechanism for storing memories of the CS-US associa-...

Several other behavioral abnormalities have also been described in 5-HT2C-R KOs. These mice display several types of repetitive behavior that have been likened to compulsions (110). 5-HT2C-R KO mice also display altered stress responses (111), a deficit in maternal behavior (Storm, unpublished data), decreased spatial memory performance in the Morris water maze, and decreased long-term potentiation (LTP) in medial perforant path-dentate gyrus synapses (112).
