This study shows that stress and LC activation promote NE release in the BLA, disrupting vmPFC activity and impairing fear extinction.

In validated multicenter replications, 20 to 44% of 45 published Brazilian MTT, RT-PCR and elevated plus maze experiments replicated, depending on criterion; replication effects were usually smaller.

This study shows that pharmacological activation of the infralimbic cortex after fear conditioning enhances fear extinction in rats.

This study shows that BLA neurons encode both recent and remote fear memories, indicating the BLA stores emotional memories long-term.
