Fear extinction in rats: implications for human brain imaging and anxiety disorders. (2006, background): “Subsequent lesion studies have supported the role of the vmPFC in fear extinction (Morrow et al., 1999; Weible et al., 2000; Morgan et al., 2003; Fernandez, 2003; Lebron et al., 2004).”
Neural Mechanisms of Extinction Learning and Retrieval (2008, result): “Similar findings were observed in other studies employing lesions of vmPFC (Lebron et al, 2004; Morgan et al, 2003; Weible et al, 2000; Fernandez, 2003), but other studies found no effect (Gewirtz et al, 1997; Garcia et al, 2006; Farinelli et al, 2006) (see Table 1 for summary of vmPFC lesion studie”
