Sleep and the generalization of fear learning [PDF]
Journal of Sleep Research, 2015 SummaryFear conditioning is an important survival mechanism, as is the ability to generalize learned fear responses to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus. Overgeneralization of fear learning, prominent in many anxiety disorders, is however highly maladaptive.

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.

Neuroimaging of Fear-Associated Learning [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacology, 2015 Fear conditioning has been commonly used as a model of emotional learning in animals and, with the introduction of functional neuroimaging techniques, has proven useful in establishing the neurocircuitry of emotional learning in humans. Studies of fear acquisition suggest that regions such as amygdala, insula, anterior cingulate cortex, and hippocampus

eLife, 2020 Survival depends on the ability of animals to select the appropriate behavior in response to threat and safety sensory cues. However, the synaptic and circuit mechanisms by which the brain learns to encode accurate predictors of threat and safety remain ...

Differential activation of anatomically defined neuronal subpopulations in the amygdala during fear conditioning and extinction [PDF]
, 2009 The amygdala is a key structure of the neuronal circuitry mediating expression and extinction of conditioned fear. However, fear memories are thought to be encoded in a larger network comprising the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the ...

Learned fear to social out-group members are determined by ethnicity and prior exposure
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Humans, like other animals, have a tendency to preferentially learn and retain some associations more readily than others. In humans, preferential learning was originally demonstrated for certain evolutionary prepared stimuli, such as snakes and angry ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNew learning results in modulation of intrinsic plasticity in the underlying brain regions. Such changes in intrinsic plasticity can influence allocation and encoding of future memories such that new memories encoded during the period of ...

Light enhances learned fear [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 The ability to learn, remember, and respond to emotional events is a powerful survival strategy. However, dysregulated behavioral and physiological responses to these memories are maladaptive. To fully understand learned fear and the pathologies that arise during response malfunction we must reveal the environmental variables that ...
