PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is thought to be due in part to problems with fear conditioning. Which of the following statements about PTSD is FALSE:
d: Drugs that block LTP might be useful in this disorder because they
increase the likelihood that new associations will be learned and replace the
older associations that are causing the PTSD.
