Multi-modal brain properties are associated with interindividual differences in fear acquisition and extinction

Christoph Fraenz, Dorothea Metzen, Julian Packheiser, Christian Josef Merz, Helene Selpien, Nikolai Axmacher, Erhan Genç

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.

Conditioned fear reactions are associated with gray matter density but not cortical microstructure

Christoph Fraenz, Dorothea Metzen, Christian Josef Merz, Helene Selpien, Nikolai Axmacher, Erhan Genç

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.
