Associative memory can be rendered malleable by a reminder. Blocking the ensuing
reconsolidation process is suggested as a therapeutic target for unwanted aversive …

Fear and anxiety are crucial for adaptive responding in life‐threatening situations. Whereas
fear is a phasic response to an acute threat accompanied by selective attention, anxiety is …

Real-world memories involve the integration of multiple events across time, yet the
mechanisms underlying this integration is unknown. Recent rodent studies show that distinct …

A reminder can render consolidated memory labile and susceptible to amnesic agents
during a reconsolidation window. For the case of threat memory (also termed fear memory) …

Respiratory physiology is influenced by cognitive processes. It has been suggested that
some cognitive states may be inferred from respiration amplitude responses (RAR) after …

While the examination of conditioned cardiac responses is well established in human fear
conditioning research, comparable studies using less‐aversive or rather appetitive …

Background Cognitive processes influence respiratory physiology. This may allow inferring
cognitive states from measured respiration. Here, we take a first step towards this goal and …

Trace fear conditioning is an important research paradigm to model aversive learning in
biological or clinical scenarios, where predictors (conditioned stimuli, CS) and aversive …

Threat-conditioned cues are thought to capture overt attention in a bottom-up process.
Quantification of this phenomenon typically relies on cue competition paradigms. Here, we …

Background Trauma and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have repeatedly
been linked to impaired cardiovascular functioning. Poor fear extinction is a well-established …
