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

This study shows acute stress enhances signaled active avoidance in female rats but not males, with males showing resistance to extinction and similar fear learning to females.

This study investigates the role of the ventral hippocampus in inter-trial responses during signaled active avoidance in rats, finding that its inactivation reduces these responses while leaving avoidance behavior unaffected.
