https://www.selleckchem.com/products/e1210.html It has been shown that fear conditioning improves the steady-state evoked potentials driven by a long lasting amplitude modulated tone in the inferior colliculus. In this work we tested the hypothesis that the amygdala modulates this effect, since it plays a crucial role in assessing the biological relevance of environmental stimuli. We inhibited the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala of rats by injecting a GABAa receptor agonist (muscimol) before the recall test session of an auditory fear conditioning paradigm and recorded the evoked activity in the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus. According to our results, the treatment with muscimol decreased the expression of freezing behavior during the recall test session, but did not impair the entrainment of the evoked activity in the inferior colliculus induced by fear conditioning. We repeated the injection protocol with another group of rats but without pairing the tone to an aversive stimulus and observed that the inhibition of the basolateral amygdala enhances the stimulus-driven activity in the inferior colliculus regardless of the conditioning task. Our findings suggest that the basolateral amygdala exerts a tonic modulation over the encoding of sensory information at the early stages of the sensory pathway.The focus of this review is on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is caused by the absence of the protein dystrophin and is characterized as a neuromuscular disease in which muscle weakness, increased susceptibility to muscle injury, and inadequate repair appear to underlie the pathology. Considerable attention has been dedicated to studying muscle fiber damage, but data show that both human patients and animal models for DMD present with fragmented neuromuscular junction (NMJ) morphology. In addition to pre- and post-synaptic abnormalities, studies indicate increased susceptibility of the NMJ to contraction-induced injury, with corresponding functi
