Uncertainty-Dependent Extinction of Fear Memory in an Amygdala-mPFC Neural Circuit Model.
Uncertainty of fear conditioning is crucial for the acquisition and extinction of fear memory. Fear memory acquired through partial pairings of a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US) is more resistant to extinction than that acquired through full pairings; this effect is know...
