Abstract

Fear extinction (FE) consists of a ‘safe’ memory overpowering a fear memory, and emotion regulation (ER) is a regulatory response to affective events. In this study, ER was compared with FE across multiple levels of analysis. Interestingly, psychophysiological indicators of FE predicted reactivity of major brain regions involved with ER.
