The ability to forget fear-inducing situations is essential for adapting to our environment, but the neural mechanisms underlying 'fear forgetting' remain unclear. Novel findings reveal that the activity of the infralimbic cortex - specifically during REM sleep - contributes to the extinction of fear memory.
