Extinction Training During the Reconsolidation Window Prevents Recovery of Fear

Conditioned fear can be diminished through an inhibitory process called extinction, but can resurface under conditions such as the passage of time or exposure to stress. Our protocol presents a novel way of preventing fear recovery by introducing extinction during the reconsolidation window (the re-storage phase of a reactivated memory).

Source: Pietruczyk, E. A., et al. Laminectomy and Spinal Cord Window Implantation in the Mouse. J. Vis. Exp. (2019)This video demonstrates the implantation of a spinal cord window in an anesthetized mouse for in vivo imaging. The protocol stabilizes the exposed spinal cord using a borosilicate cover glass and a 3D-printed backplate. This method enables high-resolution two-photon microscopy to study blood-brain barrier dynamics and neurovascular interactions.
FAQs
These components control how a window sash moves and remains positioned. Tracks guide vertical or horizontal travel, while counterweights, springs, or friction mechanisms regulate movement and help hold the sash at a selected opening. In biological settings, that positioning determines how consistently researchers can manage ventilation and environmental exchange.
Changing the sash position alters the opening available for ventilation. A larger or smaller opening can influence airflow and the exchange of heat and moisture with the surrounding environment. This makes sash adjustment relevant when researchers need to balance fresh air, temperature control, and humidity conditions for organisms or cultivation areas.
A window sash can help manage the daylight entering a biological environment while also affecting ventilation and heat exchange. That combination matters because plants and laboratory organisms experience conditions shaped by light, temperature, and airflow together. Positioning the sash therefore supports broader environmental control rather than treating daylight as an isolated variable.
Researchers can position the sash to support airflow and light management while limiting unwanted heat exchange. These adjustments help maintain conditions suitable for plant growth, especially when the surrounding environment must remain relatively stable. The sash functions as one part of the cultivation setup for balancing ventilation, daylight, temperature, and humidity.
Properly designed window sashes can support plant growth areas, animal-care environments, and other laboratory experiments involving organisms. Their value comes from helping regulate the conditions experienced by those organisms, including airflow, daylight, temperature, and humidity. The specific benefit depends on how consistently the sash manages environmental exchange within the larger window assembly.
Researchers should treat sash position as an environmental variable because movement can change ventilation, daylight, temperature, and humidity at the same time. Selecting and maintaining an appropriate position can help limit unwanted heat exchange while preserving useful airflow and light. This is especially relevant when biological outcomes depend on relatively stable surroundings.
