“…Additional training trials can gradually develop contextual fear within these alternative circuits, indicating their remarkable adaptive potential (Coelho et al ., 2018; Cowansage et al ., 2014; Kant and Jha, 2019a, 2023; M. S. Fanselow, 2010; Poulos et al ., 2010; Yu et al ., 2021; Zelikowsky et al ., 2013). In the absence of the DH, the micro-circuitries of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), particularly the infralimbic (IL) and prelimbic (PL) cortices, facilitate contextual fear conditioning (Zelikowsky et al ., 2013).…”
