Rutgers research identifies brain cells related to fear
Potentially paving the way for more effective treatments of anxiety disorders, a recent Nature report by Denis Paré, professor at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers University, Newark, has identified a critical component of the amygdala’s neural network normally involved in the extinction, or elimination, of fear memories. His research was published online by Nature on July 9, 2008, and is scheduled to appear in the print edition later in July.
