Multimodal sensory information constituting the context is integrated at the hippocampus and associated with shock in the basolateral amygdala. Descending circuitry from there generates conditional responses such as freezing and analgesia. The analgesic effects on ascending pain information from the dorsal horn constitute the error-correcting negative feedback arm of the circuit. See [27-28 for reviews].
