Explicit and Implicit Processes in Human Aversive Conditioning [PDF]
, 2006 The ability to adapt to a changing environment is central to an organism’s success. The process of associating two stimuli (as in associative conditioning) requires very little in the way of neural machinery.

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010 Beta-adrenergic receptors (βARs) have long been associated with fear disorders and with learning and memory. However, the contribution of these receptors to Pavlovian fear conditioning, a leading behavioral model for studying fear learning and ...

Functional imaging of stimulus convergence in amygdalar neurons during Pavlovian fear conditioning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Associative conditioning is a ubiquitous form of learning throughout the animal kingdom and fear conditioning is one of the most widely researched models for studying its neurobiological basis.

, 2022 Past fear conditioning studies have used different types of conditional stimuli (CSs). Whether this choice affects learning outcomes in particular when neutral stimuli (e.g., neutral faces vs. shapes) are used is unclear. Data were aggregated across nine

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2009 Early life trauma alters later life emotions, including fear. To better understand mediating mechanisms, we subjected pups to either predictable or unpredictable trauma, in the form of paired or unpaired odor-0.5mA shock conditioning which, during a ...

Dissecting the role of defined neuronal populations in fear learning [PDF]
, 2014 The astonishing plasticity of the brain and its ability for continuous learning and memory formation are among its most essential functions, since constant adaptation to the environment is critical for an animal’s survival.

Conditioning of fear and conditioning of safety in rats
Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 1995 In separate groups of rats forward and backward procedures for classical defensive conditioning were superimposed on on-going bar pressing for food. The forward conditioned stimulus elicited suppression of bar presses, indicating acquisition of fear. The backward stimulus paired with identical shock elicited behaviour typical for rats in a condition of

Nicotine and extinction of fear conditioning [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2010 Despite known health risks, nicotine use remains high, especially in populations diagnosed with mental illnesses, including anxiety disorders and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Smoking in these populations may relate to the effects of nicotine on emotional memories.

Fear conditioning and the basolateral amygdala [PDF]
F1000Research, 2020 Fear is a response to impending threat that prepares a subject to make appropriate defensive responses, whether to freeze, fight, or flee to safety. The neural circuits that underpin how subjects learn about cues that signal threat, and make defensive responses, have been studied using Pavlovian fear conditioning in laboratory rodents as well as humans.

The psychophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder and panic disorder : fear conditioning, autonomous underpinnings and issues of measurement [PDF]
, 2007 Die Ergründung des Phänomens Angst in seinen gesunden und pathologischen Ausprägungen stellt für Forscher und Kliniker auch nach Jahrzehnten intensiver Forschung immer noch eine Herausforderung dar. Angst ist eine adaptive und verhaltenssteuernde Emotion,
