A new mouse study by scientists at UC Riverside (UCR) demonstrates that remote fear memories formed in the distant past are permanently stored in connections between memory neurons in the prefrontal cortex or PFC. Their findings provide insights and may lead to new treatments for people living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Their study, “Neocortical Synaptic Engrams for Remote Contextual Memories,” is published in Nature Neuroscience.
