What the tool is doing

Contextual fear conditioning is used in the review as a major behavioral paradigm for probing BNST involvement in aversive learning.

Source 2DOI PubMed

What problem it solves

It provides a reference case for discussing BNST dependence in conditioned freezing.

Source 2DOI PubMed

What it does not solve

The abstract indicates it does not yield a uniform BNST requirement across all circumstances.

Evidence Snippets

following contextual fear conditioning (CFC)

Evidence 1Source 1DOI PubMedprovenance

it is well known that the BNST is essential for contextual fear conditioning, but dispensable for fear conditioning to discrete conditioned stimuli (CSs), at least as indexed by freezing behavior.

Claim 1review summarymixed2017Source 2DOI PubMed

The review notes that contextual freezing can in some circumstances persist independently of BNST.

Quoted textsource-backed

recent evidence suggests that there are circumstances in which contextual freezing may persist independent of the BNST.

Claim 2review summarysupports2017Source 2DOI PubMed

The review states that BNST is essential for contextual fear conditioning but dispensable for fear conditioning to discrete conditioned stimuli, at least when measured by freezing behavior.
