In other words, generally, people are conditioned to associate a certain context to the memory of the event that took place by the triggering of flashbacks. This is called fear conditioning. Normally, most people who are conditioned by a certain trigger become deconditioned to it after the trigger appears frequently in the abstinence of the event that caused fear conditioning, leading to fear extinction. In PTSD patients however, the fear extinction is not achieved, due to the “hyperactivity” and impaired ECS activity in the amygdala of the brain.
