Project Summary Classical aversive conditioning is a well-established laboratory model for studying acquisition and extinction of defensive responses. In experimental animals, as well as in humans, research to date has been mainly focused on the role of limbic structures (e.g., the amygdala) in these responses. Recent evidence has begun to stress the important contribution by the brain’s sensory and attention control systems in maintaining the neural representations of conditioned responses and in facilitating their extinction. The proposed research breaks new ground by combining novel neuroimaging techniques with advanced computational methods to examine the brain’s visual and attention…
