Abstract
An inherent property of extinguished fear memories is that the fear may return. A recent study in mice by Li et al. provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying the relapse of an extinguished memory through converging sensory and contextual cues from the auditory cortex (ACx) and ventral hippocampus (vHPC) to the lateral amygdala (LA).
