Fear conditioning with AAV vectors

From 2021 to 2025, 52 animal research papers mentioned AAV vectors and fear conditioning in their title or abstract.

That is 4.3 times the 12 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention AAV vectors and any of the 90 tests we count grew faster, to 5.7 times as many.

52 animal research papers from 2021 to 2025 mentioned AAV vectors and fear conditioning
10% of the 546 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention AAV vectors and a test mention fear conditioning
3% of the 2,010 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention fear conditioning also mention AAV vectors
4.3 times as many papers as in 2011 to 2015

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions AAV vectors and fear conditioning.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.

More pairings

Every pairing of a brain technique and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on fear conditioning counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on AAV vectors ranks the tests mentioned with it.
