          Fear and Anxiety Share Same Bases in Brain

          Fear and anxiety share overlapping neural circuits. The findings contradict the popular belief that anxiety and fear are distinct emotions with different triggers and segregated brain circuits.

          How Fear Persists in the Mouse Brain

          When a mouse senses a threat, neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus become activated and remain active for ten seconds after the threat is removed. Fear responses could be induced by artificially stimulating these neurons. Artificially silencing the neurons reduced fear behavior.

          Why Are Memories Attached to Emotions so Strong?

          Hippocampal neurons that respond to fearful stimuli relay that information to the amygdala. These neurons synchronize when memories of the stimuli are later recalled. The synchrony is critical to establish fear memories and the greater the synchrony, the stronger the memory becomes.

          How Fear Transforms into Anxiety

          In anxiety, neural activity becomes elevated across many specific brain regions, and normal coordination between the networks becomes decreased.
