A host of learning, memory, and decision-making processes form the individual's response
to threat and may be disrupted in anxiety and post-trauma psychopathology. Here we review …

Both clinicians and neuroscientists have been long interested in the topic of fear
conditioning, with recent advances in neuroscience, in particular, igniting a shared interest …

Understanding transient dynamics of the autonomic nervous system during fear learning
remains a critical step to translate basic research into treatment of fear‐related disorders. In …

The recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of reinforcement learning
(RL) models in social, cognitive and affective neuroscience. This approach, in combination …

Threat conditioning is a laboratory model of associative learning across species that is often
used in research on the etiology and treatment of anxiety disorders. At least 10 different …

Safety learning occurs when an otherwise neutral stimulus comes to signal the absence of
threat, allowing organisms to use safety information to inhibit fear and anxiety in …

Symptom expression in psychiatric conditions is often linked to altered threat perception,

The use of pupillometry to track emotional learning processes in humans is generating an
increasing interest. Here, we provide a first systematic review and meta-analysis on the …

Quantification of fear conditioning is paramount to many clinical and translational studies on
aversive learning. Various measures of fear conditioning co-exist, including different …

Fear and anxiety are adaptive emotions that serve important defensive functions, yet in
