Mirdametinib reduced fear responses & ERK phosphorylation in the amygdala. When combined with DCS+ prediction error, it even disrupted stronger memories. This offers hope: traumatic memories may not be forever. With the right tools/timing, they can be rewritten. #Trauma #PTSD

Actimetrics Fear Conditioning Chamber Package for Mice A complete basic mouse fear conditioning test chamber package for the Actimetrics FreezeFrame behavioral test system.

Raut et al. (2024) used Actimetrics' FreezeFrame & Fear Conditioning Chambers to show reactivating a fear memory + giving the MEK inhibitor mirdametinib could weaken traumatic memory.

Figures of PTSD Study

🎃🧠 Trick or treatment? New research explores how fear memories, like those in PTSD, can be disrupted at their source. Could this be the start of long-lasting relief from trauma? #PTSD #Trauma #Neuroscience
