News Finding: @username @username @username your guess is just right. Vicarious extinction works better as compared to direct extinction (behaviour:  fMRI:  ). and indeed, we could have been more generous with the space between brackets!
Paper Finding: It can be speculated that this process involves the top-down impact on the amygdala by the dorsal mPFC in concert with other prefrontal regions, including the vmPFC, and memoryrelated regions in the hippocampal complex.

Paper Context: In our paradigm, watching the calm learning model during extinction might have imbued the CS+ with a safety value resulting in the abolished return of fear during the reinstatement-test stage. It can be speculated that this process involves the top-down impact on the amygdala by the dorsal mPFC in concert with other prefrontal regions, including the vmPFC, and memoryrelated regions in the hippocampal complex. The potency of vicarious extinction in our study is conceptually similar to earlier work in monkeys showing that observing a fearless learning model can cause latent inhibition or "immunization" against subsequent fear learning .
