Journal ArticleDOI
Précis of The Neuropsychology of Anxiety: An Enquiry into the Functions of the Septo-Hippocampal System..
TL;DR: It is proposed that these drugs reduce anxiety by impairing the functioning of a widespread neural system including the septo-hippocampal system (SHS), the Papez circuit, the prefrontal cortex, and ascending monoaminergic and cholinergic pathways which innervate these forebrain structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotional processing of fear : exposure to corrective information
Edna B. Foa,Michael J. Kozak +1 more
TL;DR: Mechanisms that govern the processing of emotional information, particularly those involved in fear reduction, are proposed and applications to therapeutic practice and to the broader study of psychopathology are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for Pavlovian learning: Variations in the effectiveness of conditioned but not of unconditioned stimuli.
John M. Pearce,Geoffrey Hall +1 more
TL;DR: A new model is proposed that deals with the explanation of cases in which learning does not occur in spite of the fact that the conditioned stimulus is a signal for the reinforcer by specifying that certain procedures cause a conditioned stimulus to lose effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotion and motivation: the role of the amygdala, ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: The basolateral amygdala (BLA) appears to be required for a Pavlovian conditioned stimulus to gain access to the current value of the specific unconditioned stimulus (US) that it predicts, while the central nucleus of the amygdala acts as a controller of brainstem arousal and response systems, and subserves some forms of stimulus-response Pavlovia conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampus, space, and memory
TL;DR: It is proposed that the hippocampus is selectively involved in behaviors that require working memory, irrespective of the type of material (spatial or nonspatial) that is to be processed by that memory.
