Figure 4. Women in the high estradiol group (H-EST) show increased extinction retention relative to the low estradiol group (L-EST).

Figure 4

A) Skin conductance response (SCR) during extinction recall for women in the high estradiol group relative to the low estradiol group (H-EST vs. L-EST). Contrast compares first four trials of CS+E (extinguished cue) minus first four trials of CS+NE (non-extinguished cue). The H-EST group displayed significantly lower SCRs relative to the L-EST group during extinction recall, suggesting facilitated extinction memory expression in the H-EST group. B) Percent extinction retention in H-EST group versus L-EST group comparing CS+E to CS+NE. C) Regression plot between percent extinction retention and estradiol levels across all women (n = 32). Two subjects were excluded from these analyses as an outlier due to SCR responses that were three standard deviations beyond the mean. *p < 0.05.
