Extended fear training can lead to initially low fear expression that grows over time, termed fear incubation. Conversely, a single fear conditioning session typically results in high fear initially that is sustained over time. Fear expression decreases across extended training, suggesting that a fear extinction-like process might be responsible for low fear observed soon after training. Because of the prominent role medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays in fear conditioning and extinction, we decided to examine Fos expression resulting from a cued fear retrieval test to gain insight into possible mechanisms involved in extended training fear incubation. Male Long-Evans rats received 1 or 10 days of tone-shock pairings or tone-only exposure (while lever-pressing for food). Two days after the end of fear training, rats received a cued fear test, with perfusions timed to visualize Fos expression during test. As expected, the limited fear conditioning group exhibited higher fear in the test than any of the other groups (as measured with conditioned suppression of lever-pressing). Interestingly, we found that extended training animals (whether they received tone-shock pairings or tone-only exposure) expressed higher levels of Fos in both prelimbic and infralimbic cortices than limited training animals. There was no association between fear expression and mPFC Fos expression. These results suggest we may have visualized Fos expression related to operant overtraining rather than conditioned fear related processes. Further research is needed to determine the neurobiological basis of extended training fear incubation and to determine processes represented by the pattern of Fos expression we observed.
