✦ Synopsis

In a recent contribution to this journal, reviewed data regarding the involvement of the hippocampus in classical fear conditioning. The authors focused essentially on the role of the dorsal hippocampus and concluded that, in accordance with prevalent views that hippocampus-dependent memory involves the encoding of complex relationships among stimuli, the data support a specific mnemonic role for the dorsal hippocampus in contextual fear conditioning: the acquisition and consolidation of contextual representations. In this letter, we would like to point out that experimental data, including recent findings of our own, indicate that the role of the hippocampus in fear conditioning may extend beyond the specific involvement of the dorsal hippocampus in contextual fear conditioning and not simply accord with prevalent theories of hippocampus-dependent memory.

## Abstract Trace conditioning relies on the maintained representation of a stimulus across a trace interval, and may involve a persistent trace of the conditioned stimulus (CS) and/or a contribution of contextual conditioning. The role of hippocampal structures in these two types of conditioning w
