The place of the hippocampus in fear conditioning
Abstract
Pavlovian fear conditioning is a phenomenon amenable to laboratory analysis of the neurobiology of fear and the investigation of neural mechanisms of learning and memory. Investigators have made much progress in delineating the neurocircuitry and neurochemistry of fear conditioning. The place of the hippocampus in context fear remains a controversial issue. In this review, we examine the evidence that the hippocampus plays a role in fear conditioning. We then critically examine hypotheses concerning its exact role in learning and memory for cued and context fear conditioning.

The hippocampus is an important component of contextual fear conditioning.
“The hippocampus is an important component of contextual fear conditioning (Phillips and LeDoux [181]; Maren [182]; Sanders et al. [183]; Rudy et al. [184]).”

Hippocampal damage or inactivation can interfere with contextual, but not cued, fear conditioning.
“It is well known that hippocampal damage or inactivation can interfere with contextual, but not cued, fear conditioning (Phillips and LeDoux [181]; Maren [182]; Sanders et al. [183]; Rudy et al. [184]).”
From The Temporal Dynamics Model of Emotional Memory Processing: A Synthesis on the Neurobiological Basis of Stress-Induced Amnesia, Flashbulb and Traumatic Memories, and the Yerkes-Dodson Law (2007) · cites this paper as Sanders et al. [183]
Performance of rats given prolonged pretraining stress was equivalent to the severe contextual memory impairment reported in rats with an inactivated or damaged hippocampus.
“Thus, the performance of rats given prolonged pretraining stress was equivalent to the severe contextual memory impairment which has been reported in rats with an inactivated or damaged hippocampus (Phillips and LeDoux [181]; Maren [182]; Sanders et al. [183]; Rudy et al. [184]).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
