N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are key mediators of fear learning behaviors. Altered NMDA receptor signaling is a hallmark of PTSD pathology that impacts fear memory learning and extinction processes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the current study, we tested whether exposing adolescent rats to a mixed modality stress paradigm of repeated restraint, social defeat, and individual housing (chronic adolescent stress; CAS) decreased immunoreactivity of the NMDA subunit NR2B in the central amygdala in adulthood. We sought to determine the impact of a peripherally administered NMDA receptor agonist D-cycloserine (DCS) intervention to enhance extinction of learned fear in CAS animals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Upon reaching adulthood, CAS animals were exposed to a cued fear-potentiated startle paradigm.
