Brain structural connectivity and context ‐dependent extinction memory

Conclusions: Enhanced structural integrity of the cingulum might be related to stronger hippocampal modulation of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, a region important for modulating conditioned fear output by excitatory projections to the amygdala. This finding underpins the crucial role of individual differences in the structural integrity of relevant fiber tracts for context‐dependent extinction recall and return of fear after exposure therapy in anxiety disorders.
