Neuroimaging of Fear Conditioning

Studies were included if they were: (1) PET or fMRI studies, (2) performed on healthy volunteers, (3) focused on cued fear conditioning and/or extinction. Furthermore, exclusion criteria were: (1) pharmacological modulation, (2) subliminal or masked presentation, (3) context conditioning, (4) combination of fear conditioning with other experimental tasks, such as cognitive-demanding working-memory tasks. Inclusion criteria were applied independently by two reviewers. Specific experimental designs for fear conditioning in fMRI and PET were compared, focusing on the impact of critical experimental variables, such as timing parameters, the contingency rate, or characteristics of the stimuli, on neuroimaging results.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
