Associative learning shapes visual discrimination in a web-based classical conditioning task

We employed a web-based version of a visual discrimination task before and after associative and fear learning. We could show that associative learning in general results in increased stimulus salience, which facilitates perceptual discrimination in order to prioritize attentional deployment.

Social aversive generalization learning sharpens the tuning of visuocortical neurons to facial identity cues

Measures of visuocortical activity during aversive generalization learning revealed sharpened representations of facial identity, reflecting inhibitory interactions between neuronal populations that represent facial features associated with threat versus safety.
