Pattern analyses reveal separate experience-based fear memories in the human right amygdala
Learning fear via the experience of contingencies between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and
an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US) is often assumed to be fundamentally different from …

Absence of conditioned responding in humans: A bad measure or individual differences?
Skin conductance response (SCR) is often used as an index of conditioned fear. SCR has
been shown to be highly variable, and absence of SC reactivity is sometimes used as …

Differential transcriptional response to nonassociative and associative components of classical fear conditioning in the amygdala and hippocampus
Classical fear conditioning requires the recognition of conditioned stimuli (CS) and the
association of the CS with an aversive stimulus. We used Affymetrix oligonucleotide …
