Central administration of oxytocin receptor ligands affects cued fear extinction in rats and mice in a timepoint-dependent manner
Abstract
Rationale Oxytocin (OXT) has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Objectives We aimed to verify whether pharmacological manipulation of the brain OXT system affects cued fear conditioning and fear extinction.Methods Male rats and mice were intracerebroventricularly administered synthetic OXT (rats, 0.1 or 1.0 μg/5 μl; mice, 0.1 or 0.5 μg/2 μl) and/or an OXT receptor antagonist (OXTR-A; rats, 0.75 μg/5 μl) either prior to fear conditioning or extinction training.Results Preconditioning administration of OXT did not affect fear conditioning in rats, but decreased fear expression and facilitated fear extinction. In contrast, preconditioning blockade of OXT neurotransmission by OXTR-A did not affect fear conditioning or fear expression, but impaired fear extinction. When administered before extinction training, OXT impaired fear extinction in both rats and mice, indicating that the effects of OXT on fear extinction are conserved across species. This impairment was OXTR-mediated, as the inhibitory effect of OXT on fear extinction was abolished by prior treatment with OXTR-A. The impaired fear extinction was not a result of reduced locomotion in rats, whereas an apparent decrease in fear expression and facilitation of fear extinction with the higher OXT dose in mice was the result of behavioral hyperactivity.Conclusions These results suggest that increasing OXT neurotransmission during traumatic events is likely to prevent the formation of aversive memories. In contrast, OXT treatment before fear extinction training, which would be the comparable timepoint for psychotherapy in PTSD patients, rather delays fear extinction and, therefore, caution is needed before recommending OXT for the treatment of PTSD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
