Scientists Find New Research On The Brain And Fear That Could Help Victims Of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
University of Missouri research indicates there may be new hope in dealing with Post traumatic stress disorder commonly referred to as PTSD.
The brain is a complex system made of billions of neurons and thousands of connections that relate to every human feeling, including one of the strongest emotions, fear. Most neurological fear studies have been rooted in fear-conditioning experiments. Now, University of Missouri researchers have started using computational models of the brain, making it easier to study the brain's connections. Guoshi Li, an electrical and computer engineering doctoral student, has discovered new evidence on how the brain reacts to fear, including important findings that could help victims of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
