LeDoux outlines his theory of emotions and memory

In animals, researchers can extinguish a fear response by repeatedly giving the stimulus without pairing it with the feared experience—a technique similar to exposure therapy for people with phobias. But extinguishing the emotional response doesn’t destroy the factual memory of the fear, said LeDoux ...
