This study examines the relationship between neural activation during reappraisal tasks and individual differences in emotion regulation, finding no shared overlap across three measures and highlighting methodological challenges in fMRI research.

The paper examines brain correlates of fear acquisition and extinction using multimodal neuroimaging data and identifies overlapping and distinct brain regions involved in these processes.

This study shows that the cerebellum and ventral tegmental area interact during fear extinction learning, supporting a role for prediction-error processing in this process.

This study examines temporal dynamics of neural responses during fear conditioning and extinction by analyzing three 2s segments within CS presentation, revealing distinct activation patterns across and within trials.

The paper predicts individual differences in fear and cognitive learning and extinction using multimodal neural connectivity patterns from a large dataset.

The paper identifies convergent and selective functional zones in the insula using fMRI data, revealing a hierarchical convergence architecture across pain, appetitive, aversive, and cognitive control domains.

This study shows cortisol impairs path integration by disrupting grid-like representations in the entorhinal cortex, affecting navigational performance.

This study identifies RSFC changes beyond traditional fear networks after fear learning in humans.

This study links brain properties to fear acquisition and extinction using multi-modal fMRI data, identifying overlapping and distinct brain regions involved in these processes.

This study uses 6 Hz cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation to enhance fear extinction learning by modulating cerebellar-cortical interactions in healthy participants.

This study examines the effects of dopaminergic drugs on fear extinction learning in humans, finding small effects primarily in the bromocriptine group.

The paper investigates the relationship between brain structure and conditioned fear reactions, finding that gray matter density correlates with fear responses but neurite architecture does not.

The paper shows cerebellar lobules Crus I and VI are activated during fear conditioning predictions and prediction errors, and this activation diminishes during extinction.
