Selective serotonin reuptake inhibition increases noise burst-induced unconditioned and context-conditioned freezing.

CONCLUSION: The data suggest that freezing in rats exposed to a stimulus inducing relatively mild fear may be enhanced by acute pretreatment with an SSRI regardless of whether the freezing displayed by the animals is an acute unconditioned response to the stimulus in question or a conditioned response to the same stimulus.
