Anxiety is often described as a whole‑brain problem, but a series of mouse experiments suggests that, in some cases, a single ...

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...

Anxiety is best managed when the brain becomes less reactive to threats. Benzodiazepines can interfere with the learning ...

A long-term study finds significant changes in brain development linked to anxiety in children with autism. The study, which included brain scans and interviews, also provides new evidence that ...
