סוג הקובץ: Sevinc et al. take the important step of probing whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) could improve extinction retrieval. They collected functional magnetic resonance imaging data while participants underwent a 2-day classical conditioning protocol with threat acquisition and extinction on day 1 and (the focus of their article) presentation of the stimuli again on day 2. Crucially, participants completed this protocol before and after 8 weeks of MBSR or an active control intervention incorporating stress management education and exercise (SME). Strengths of the study include the use of an active control group and random assignment to MBSR versus SME interventions. On the other hand, healthy individuals were studied. Thus, whether the same circuits may underlie extinction processes in individuals with psychiatric illnesses and whether MBSR could improve extinction in psychiatrically ill individuals in whom extinction processes may be compromised remains to be tested in future work.
