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 …

Although the circuit mediating contextual fear conditioning has been extensively described,
the precise contribution that specific anatomical nodes make to behavior has not been fully …

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 …

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 …

Over the past years, numerous studies have provided a clear understanding of the neuronal
circuits and mechanisms involved in the formation, expression and extinction phases of …

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 …

This study is a new analysis to obtain novel metabolic data on the functional connectivity of
prefrontal-limbic regions in Pavlovian fear acquisition and extinction of tone-footshock …

Human imaging studies examining fear conditioning have mainly focused on the neural
responses to conditioned cues. In contrast, the neural basis of the unconditioned response …

Contextual fear conditioning involves forming a context representation and associating it to a
shock, both of which involved the dorsal hippocampus (DH) according to our recent findings …

Contextual fear conditioning is a Pavlovian conditioning paradigm capable of rapidly
creating fear memories to contexts, such as rooms or chambers. Contextual fear …
