Chan Y, Lee J, Fam J, Westbrook R, Holmes N
J Exp Psychol Anim Learn Cogn . 2024 Apr; 50(2):77-98. PMID: 38587939
Rescorla (2000, 2001) interpreted his compound test results to show that both common and individual error terms regulate associative change such that the element of a conditioned compound with the...

Leake J, Cardona L, Mencevski F, Westbrook R, Holmes N
J Neurosci . 2024 Jan; 44(9). PMID: 38286626
It is widely accepted that fear memories are consolidated through protein synthesis-dependent changes in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). However, recent studies show that protein synthesis is required to consolidate...

Kennedy N, Holmes N, Peng L, Westbrook R
Neurobiol Learn Mem . 2023 Dec; 207:107879. PMID: 38081536
This series of experiments examined the effects of extinction and an explicitly unpaired treatment on the ability of a conditioned stimulus (CS) to function as a reinforcer. Rats were trained...

Fam J, Holmes N, Westbrook R
Psychoneuroendocrinology . 2023 Dec; 160:106917. PMID: 38071877
Oxytocin (OT) influences a range of social behaviors by enhancing the salience of social cues and regulating the expression of specific social behaviors (e.g., maternal care versus defensive aggression). We...

Leake J, Leidl D, Lay B, Fam J, Giles M, Qureshi O, et al.
J Neurosci . 2023 Nov; 44(2). PMID: 37963767
Activity in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) is needed to encode fears acquired through contact with both innate sources of danger (i.e., things that are painful) and learned sources of...

Keidar T, Williams-Spooner M, Wong F, Westbrook R, Holmes N
J Neurosci . 2023 Aug; 43(39):6679-6696. PMID: 37607821
It is widely accepted that Pavlovian fear conditioning requires activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). However, it was recently shown that activation of NMDAR in...

Kendig M, Hasebe K, Tajaddini A, Kaakoush N, Westbrook R, Morris M
Mol Nutr Food Res . 2022 Oct; 67(1):e2200318. PMID: 36271770
Scope: Maternal obesity increases the risk of health complications in children, highlighting the need for effective interventions. A rat model of maternal obesity to examine whether a diet switch intervention...

Hasebe K, Kendig M, Kaakoush N, Tajaddini A, Westbrook R, Morris M
Anim Microbiome . 2022 May; 4(1):31. PMID: 35551670
Background: Despite well-known effects of diet on gut microbiota diversity, relatively little is known about how maternal diet quality shapes the longitudinal maturation of gut microbiota in offspring. To investigate,...
