Recent work on the extinction of fear-motivated learning places emphasis on its putative
circuitry and on its modulation. Extinction is the learned inhibition of retrieval of previously …

We review recent work on extinction learning with emphasis on its modulation. Extinction is
the learned inhibition of responding to previously acquired tasks. Like other forms of …

Aims: Classical fear conditioning and extinction has been used to understand the
neurobiology of fear learning and its inhibition. The recall of an extinction memory involves …

Fear memory is the best-studied form of memory. It was thoroughly investigated in the past
60 years mostly using two classical conditioning procedures (contextual fear conditioning …

There has been a longstanding debate on whether original fear memory is inhibited or
erased after extinction. One possibility that reconciles this uncertainty is that the inhibition …

Fear-motivated learning is at the root of phobias, panic, generalized anxiety and the
posttraumatic stress disorder. This makes the inhibition of fear-motivated behavior a …

Rationale The ability to memorize threat-associated cues and subsequently react to them,
exhibiting escape or avoidance responses, is an essential, often life-saving behavioral …

The neural mechanisms by which fear is inhibited are poorly understood at the present time.
Behaviorally, a conditioned fear response may be reduced in intensity through a number of …

Fear extinction is the well-known process of fear reduction through repeated re-exposure to
a feared stimulus without the aversive outcome. The last two decades have witnessed a …

The psychology of extinction has been studied for decades. Approximately 10 years ago,
however, there began a concerted effort to understand the neural circuits of extinction of fear …
