Cued and Contextual Fear Conditioning in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice underwent cued and contextual fear conditioning, as previously described [24 (link)]. Briefly, on conditioning day, mice were allowed to explore the conditioned context, which consisted of a Plexiglas chamber and metal floor grid (model H10-11M; Coulbourn Instruments, Whitehall, PA, USA). After 3 min, 15 s of white noise (80 dB) was presented co-terminating with a 2 s, 0.75 mA foot shock. This noise-shock pairing was repeated twice for a total of 3 shocks with a 30 s interval between shocks. Twenty-four hours later, mice were re-exposed to the conditioning chamber for 5 min and freezing responses were measured using FreezeView Software (Coulbourn Instruments) to test contextual long-term memory. Four hours later, mice were placed in a novel context consisting of a 15 cm open-topped plastic cylinder with bedding on the floor for 3 min followed by re-exposure to the white noise for 3 min, to test hippocampal-independent memory. All data were video recorded using FreezeFrame Video-Based Conditioned Fear System and analyzed by FreezeView Software (Coulbourn Instruments). CFC was performed in all male mice before female mice.

Immediately after the NOR task was finished, mice underwent cued and contextual fear conditioning, as previously described (Matousek et al., 2010 (link)). Briefly, on conditioning day, mice were allowed to explore the conditioning context, which consisted of a Plexiglas chamber and metal floor grid. After 3 min, 15 s of white noise was presented co-terminating with a 2 s, 0.75 mA foot shock. This noise-shock pairing was repeated twice for a total of 3 shocks with a 30 s interval between shocks. Twenty-four hours later, mice were re-exposed to the conditioning chamber for 5 min each to test long-term contextual memory. Four hours later, mice were placed in a novel context consisting of a 15 cm open-topped plastic cylinder with bedding on the floor for 3 min followed by re-exposure to the white noise for 3 min, to test hippocampal-independent memory. All data were video recorded and analyzed by FreezeView Software (Coulbourn Instruments).

Cue-dependent fear extinction was tested 24 h after fear conditioning and extinction retention occurred 24 h after fear expression. For extinction, mice were placed in a novel context with a different olfactory cue, lighting and flooring and exposed to 15 or 30  tones (30 s, 6 kHz, 65–70 db) with an inter-trial-interval of 60 s. Freezing was measured using Freeze View software (Coulbourn Instruments Inc., Whitehall, PA).

Contextual Fear Conditioning in Mice

Contextual fear conditioning tests were conducted in the same manner as previously described [36] (link). Briefly, mice were first habituated for 30 minutes in the behavioral suite and then placed in fear conditioning chambers. A training protocol was administered using Freeze Frame software (Coulbourn Instruments), which consists of two instances of a low tone paired with a mild electric foot shock (0.7 mA) in a 3-minute time frame. The amount of time that the mice were immobile, designated as “freezing” in this protocol was recorded by the software. For short-term recall, mice were placed back in the same chamber without a tone or foot shock, to measure contextual fear conditioning 2 hours after testing. For long-term recall, mice were again placed in the same chamber 24 hours after testing. Both outputs were measured using Freeze View software (Coulbourn Instruments) after individually adjusting a baseline freezing threshold for each mouse that was tested.

AS mice and their WT littermates were randomly assigned to either control or p18 siRNA groups and blinded to the examiner. Four weeks after AAV injection, mice were placed in the fear-conditioning chamber (H10-11M-TC, Coulbourn Instruments). The conditioning chamber was cleaned with 10% ethanol to provide a background odor. A ventilation fan provided a background noise at ∼55 dB. After a 2 min exploration period, three tone-footshock pairings separated by 1 min intervals were delivered. The 85 dB 2 kHz tone lasted 30 s and co-terminated with a footshock of 0.75 mA and 2 s. Mice remained in the training chamber for another 30 s before being returned to home cages. Context test was performed 1 day after training in the original conditioning chamber with 5 min recording. On day 3, animals were subjected to cue/tone test in a modified chamber with different texture and color, odor, background noise, and lighting. After 5 min recording, mice were exposed to a tone (85 dB, 2 kHz) for 1 min. Mouse behavior was recorded with the Freezeframe software and data were analyzed using the Freezeview software (Coulbourn Instruments). Motionless bouts lasting more than 1 s were considered as freezing. The percent of time animal froze was calculated and group means with SEM were analyzed.

Auditory Fear Conditioning in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Auditory fear conditioning was carried out as previously described (Dias and Ressler, 2014 (link)). Briefly, mice were pre-exposed to sound attenuated conditioning chambers (San Diego Instruments) (grid floors, room light on, cleaned with Quatricide: Context A) for 3 consecutive days before training. On the day of auditory fear conditioning in Context A, mice received five CS−US pairings (CS: 30 second, 6 kHz, 75 db tone) (US: 500 ms, 0.6mA foot-shock) wherein the tone co-terminated with the mild foot-shock with a 5 minute inter-trial interval (ITI). Where an unpaired condition was used, the same CS and US parameters were used with no co-termination and presented in a random sequence. The percentage of time spent freezing during fear acquisition was measured by SR-LAB software (San Diego Instruments). The consolidation of fear memory was tested 24 hours after fear conditioning in a novel context (modular test chambers; Med Associates Inc.) (plexiglass floor, room light off, red chamber lights on, cleaned with EtOH: Context B) when mice were exposed to 5 CS tones with a 2 minute ITI. Freezing during the tone presentations was measured with FreezeView software (Coulbourn Instruments). All statistical analyses were conducted using a repeated-measure ANOVA design with Bonferroni correction.

Cued Fear Conditioning and Extinction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The procedure for acquisition and sub-optimal extinction of conditioned freezing are described in detail previously (Young et al. 2015 (link)). Briefly, mice were exposed to cued fear conditioning on Day 1, fear extinction training on Day 3, and extinction testing on Day 4. Cued fear conditioning consisted of a 4 pairings of a CS-tone (75-80dB, 6.0 kHz, 30 s) and a US-footshock (0.6 mA, 1 s). Extinction training was carried out 48 h after fear conditioning (‘Day 3’) in a different context from conditioning, where they were exposed to 16 CS tones separated by 45 s each. Saline or MDMA was administered 30 min prior to extinction training, and mice were individually-housed during the period between drug administration and the behavioral procedure. Freezing was scored by video recording and FreezeView software (Coulbourn Instruments, San Diego, CA, USA). For experiments exploring the effects of chronically-administered citalopram, mice were treated daily with 10 mg/kg (i.p.) of citalopram for 22 days between fear conditioning and extinction training. Mice were habituated to handling and i.p. injection for two days prior to experimentation.
