Abstract
Editorial: Extinction Learning from a Mechanistic and Systems Perspective.
Highlights
Throughout life, we learn to associate stimuli with their consequences
One specific goal of this Research Topic was to offer a basis for trans-species comparisons, as reflected by the spectrum of animals described that range from snails, through mice, rats, and pigeons
A number of studies (André et al.; Lengersdorf et al.; André and Manahan-Vaughan; Andrianov et al.; de Oliveira et al.; Lissek et al.) addressed neurotransmitter systems that are known to be involved in other forms of learning (Morris, 2013; Seyedabadi et al, 2014; Bauer, 2015) and in synaptic plasticity that is believed to underlie learning (Harley, 2004; Lesch and Waider, 2012; Park et al, 2013; Hansen and Manahan-Vaughan, 2014; Hagena et al, 2015)
Summary
Throughout life, we learn to associate stimuli with their consequences. But some of the new information that we encounter forces us to abandon what we had previously acquired. One of the aims of the present Research Topic was to incorporate studies that analyze the concert of neural structures that enable extinction learning.
