Researchers have found that low-intensity sound waves directed through the skull can help mice shed conditioned fear responses, offering a potential new route for treating trauma-related disorders. A ...

Overall, the findings of this recent study suggest that psilocybin promotes fear extinction (i.e., the unlearning of fearful responses to neutral stimuli previously associated with threats) via the ...

Dangers come but dangers also go and when they do, the brain has an "all-clear" signal that teaches it to extinguish its fear. A new study in mice by MIT neuroscientists shows that the signal is the ...

Researchers at Tulane University have identified brain circuits that help determine how fear responses change as perceived threats diminish, offering new insight into how the brain regulates defensive ...

In A Nutshell Researchers used focused sound waves to temporarily quiet the amygdala in healthy adults, reaching a deep brain structure without surgery. When the amygdala was dampened, participants ...
