Synaptic plasticity in the form of long-term potentiation (LTP) plays a critical role in the formation of a Pavlovian fear association. However, the role that synaptic plasticity plays in the suppression of a learned fear response remains to be clarified. Here, we assessed the role that long-term depression (LTD) plays in the acquisition, expression, and extinction of a conditioned fear response. We report that blockade of LTD with a GluR2-derived peptide (Tat-GluR2(3Y); 1.5 micromol/kg, i.v.) that blocks regulated alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor endocytosis during an initial extinction training session disrupted both the expression and recall of extinction learning. A similar impairment of extinction during training, but not recall, was observed when NMDA receptor-dependent LTD was inhibited through the selective blockade of NMDA NR2B receptors with Ro 25-6981. In contrast, blockade of LTD with Tat-GluR2(3Y) during fear conditioning or during a fear recall test did not effect the expression or recall of either contextual or cue-induced conditioned fear. Similarly, administration of Tat-GluR2(3Y) prior to an extinction recall test did not affect spontaneous recovery or rate of re-extinction in previously extinguished rats. These data demonstrate that AMPA receptor endocytosis does not mediate acquisition or expression of conditioned fear, but may play a role in the extinction of fear memories. Furthermore, these findings suggest that LTD may be a molecular mechanism that facilitates the selective modification of a learned association while leaving intact the ability to form a new memory.
