Scientists say hidden brain fear mechanism may drive anxiety and PTSD

Original: The brain’s hidden fear mechanism may explain anxiety and PTSD

A new report suggests the brain contains a previously little-understood fear mechanism that could help explain how anxiety disorders and PTSD develop. The finding, covered by Science Daily, points to new research into how fear responses are generated and stored in the brain. Researchers hope a clearer picture of this mechanism could eventually guide better treatments for people living with trauma-related conditions.

Why now: New neuroscience research on fear processing offers potential insight into the causes of anxiety and PTSD.
