Reddan, M. C., Wager, T. D., & Schiller, D.
In one sentence. Showed in an fMRI and skin-conductance study that imagined extinction reduced a neural threat-predictive pattern and physiological threat responses as effectively as real extinction, with vmPFC central to both and nucleus accumbens uniquely predicting imagined extinction success.
