Deletion of GluN2D does not alter fear conditioning learning or memory retention but abolishes extinction learning. (A) Protocol used for fear conditioning. Mice were habituated for 2 min in the conditioning chamber (context A) and exposed to eight pairings of a 10 s tone that co-terminated with a 1 s foot-shock. Mice were then left in the conditioning chamber for 2 min and returned to their home cage. Next day mice were exposed to a single 10 s tone in context B. (B) Percentage of freezing in wildtype (blue symbols, n = 10) and GluN2D KO mice (red symbols, n = 8) during the habituation period (H), the conditioning training (tones 1–8) and retention test tone. (C) Freezing time in individual animals during fear memory retention test. Mean values are represented as doted lines. (D) A two pairing conditioning paradigm was used. Next day retention and extinction learning (Ext tr) were tested in context B by exposing the animals to eight 10 s tones after 2 min of habituation. (E) GluN2D KO mice (red symbols, n = 11), but not wildtype (blue symbols, n = 11), showed impaired extinction learning assessed on the last tone. (F) Freezing time in individual animals at the end of extinction training. Mean values are represented as doted lines. *** P < 0.001. Values in the time courses are mean ± SEM.

Altered synaptic plasticity in GluN2D KOs. (A) Pooled data showing the time course of potentiation of fEPSPs (mean ± SEM) for WTs (filled circles, n = 21) and KOs (open circles, n = 17). Decay of STP was fitted using a bi-exponential decay function (black curve fits WT and grey curve fits KO). The rate of decay of STP1 and STP2 were not significantly different between WTs (τ 1 = 3.0 min, τ2 = 24.0 min) and KOs (τ 1 = 4.7 min, τ2 = 25.8 min) (τ 1 F(1, 3333) = 1.231, p = 0.267, τ 2 F(1, 3333) = 0.0801, p = 0.777, F test). In this and subsequent time course plots, the arrowhead indicates the time of high frequency stimulation and the associated “B” refers to the number of bursts delivered. Representative fEPSPs from WTs and KOs at the time-points indicated in A are shown on the right. (B) The level of STP1 and STP2 were calculated by integrating the fast and slow components of the bi-exponential decay function, respectively, and are presented normalised with respect to the corresponding control. STP1 was significantly lower in WTs (100.0 ± 10.1%) compared to KOs (212.4 ± 19.4%; ****p < 0.0001, t(36) = 5.431, t -test). STP2 was not significantly different between WTs (100.0 ± 13.0%) and KOs (138.7 ± 15.7%; p = 0.0633, t(36) = 1.916, t -test). LTP in WTs (38.5 ± 4.3%) was significantly less than in KOs (52.5 ± 5.5%; t(36) = 2.055, *p = 0.0472, t -test) (C) Time course of potentiation in WTs (filled circles, n = 4) and KOs (open circles, n = 5) in the presence of GABA A and GABA B receptor antagonists.

Deletion of GluN2D does not alter fear conditioning learning or memory retention but abolishes extinction learning. (A) Protocol used for fear conditioning. Mice were habituated for 2 min in the conditioning chamber (context A) and exposed to eight pairings of a 10 s tone that co-terminated with a 1 s foot-shock. Mice were then left in the conditioning chamber for 2 min and returned to their home cage. Next day mice were exposed to a single 10 s tone in context B. (B) Percentage of freezing in wildtype (blue symbols, n = 10) and GluN2D KO mice (red symbols, n = 8) during the habituation period (H), the conditioning training (tones 1–8) and retention test tone. (C) Freezing time in individual animals during fear memory retention test. Mean values are represented as doted lines. (D) A two pairing conditioning paradigm was used. Next day retention and extinction learning (Ext tr) were tested in context B by exposing the animals to eight 10 s tones after 2 min of habituation. (E) GluN2D KO mice (red symbols, n = 11), but not wildtype (blue symbols, n = 11), showed impaired extinction learning assessed on the last tone.
