Contextual fear conditioning studies in animals and humans found an involvement of the
hippocampus and amygdala during fear learning. To exclude a focus on elements of the …

Lesion studies in animals have identified a critical role of the hippocampus in context fear
conditioning. To extend these findings to human volunteers, we used functional magnetic …

Functional imaging studies of cued fear conditioning in humans have mostly confirmed
findings in animals, but it is unclear whether the brain mechanisms that underlie contextual …

Contextual fear conditioning has become a benchmark measure for hippocampal function,
even though several studies report successful acquisition in hippocampal‐damaged …

Contextual fear conditioning is an important behavioral paradigm for studying the
neurobiology of learning and memory and the mnemonic function of the hippocampus. We …

Contextual fear conditioning involves forming a representation for the context and
associating it with a shock, which were attributed by the prevailing view to functions of the …

The hippocampus is widely believed to be essential for learning about the context in which
conditioning occurs. This view is based primarily on evidence that lesions of the dorsal …

The specific brain regions and circuits involved in the acquisition and expression of
contextual fear conditioning are still a matter of debate. To address this issue, regional …

Fear conditioning with electric shock (unconditioned stimulus, US) paired with tone cue
(conditioned stimulus, CS) has been extensively applied in recent molecular neurobiological …

Dorsal hippocampal (DH) lesions produce a severe deficit in recently, but not remotely,
acquired contextual fear without impairing memory of discrete training stimuli, ie, DH lesions …
