Impact of observational and direct learning on fear conditioning and generalization in humans
Humans gain knowledge about threats not only from their own experiences but also from
observing others' behavior. A neutral stimulus is associated with a threat stimulus for several …

Transcranial direct current stimulation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex modulates perceptual and neural patterns of fear generalization
Background Overgeneralization of fear is a pathogenic marker of anxiety and stress-related
disorders and has been linked with perceptual discrimination deficits, reduced fear …

Noninvasive stimulation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex modulates rationality of human decision-making
The framing-effect is a bias that affects decision-making depending on whether the available
options are presented with positive or negative connotations. Even when the outcome of two …

Neuronal activity in sensory cortex predicts the specificity of learning in mice
Learning to avoid dangerous signals while preserving normal responses to safe stimuli is
essential for everyday behavior and survival. Following identical experiences, subjects …

Behavioral and magnetoencephalographic correlates of fear generalization are associated with responses to later virtual reality exposure therapy in spider phobia
Background Because overgeneralization of fear is a pathogenic marker of anxiety disorders,
we investigated whether pretreatment levels of fear generalization in spider-phobic patients …

Behavioral and physiological sensitivity to natural sick faces
The capacity to rapidly detect and avoid sick people may be adaptive. Given that faces are
reliably available, as well as rapidly detected and processed, they may provide health …
