          Eyeing Fear: Neurons That Drive Visual Aversion Uncovered

          Scientists have unearthed a cluster of neurons, which control our urge to avert our gaze from frightening situations. The team studied fruit fly brains and found these neurons release a chemical, tachykinin, that triggers aversion towards perceived threats.

          How Early Fears Play a Role in Future Anxiety and Depression

          Behavioral inhibition at 12 to 24 months of age was associated with an increased risk of developing depression, more so than anxiety, during later life. This is especially true for inhibited children who showed blunted activity in the ventral striatum during adolescence.

          Where Do Fears Come From?

          Exposure therapy for fears and phobias may only have a 50% success rate because fear memories outlast competing safety memories learned from therapy. Researchers investigate the genesis of fear memories and have developed a new mathematical model to help strengthen exposure therapies.
