Research in humans has long recognized a modulating role for sex hormones on fear learning. There is still not quite a consensus on what specific effects different hormones have, or what experimental paradigm properly reflects key processes of fear-related learning in near-ecological situations. Our aim with this work was to precisely tackle the influence of sex hormones and the menstrual cycle in fear memory, combining for the first time methods such as vaginal cytology analysis, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), fear-potentiated startle (FPS) and skin conductance response (SCR
