Homologous prefrontal structures in rodent and human brain that modulate fear expression. The rodent prelimbic cortex (PL) and human dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) increase fear expression and oppose extinction, while the rodent infralimbic cortex (IL) and human ventromedial prefrontal cortex inhibit fear expression and promote extinction.
