Although the methodology was limited, our data revealed the duration of social defeat from consolidation to extinction after an acute social aggression. In the future, we will explore the relationship between the responses of the BLA and the vHIP toward social defeat, particularly the functions of the neural circuit between the BLA and the vHIP in recognizing social contexts and objects. We aim to use extinction training and noninvasive treatment to alleviate social defeat and explore the mechanisms underlying the temporal windows of consolidation and extinction.
