Improve The Treatment Of PTSD Can Be Through The Amygdala.
Researchers who have intentional a missus with a missing amygdala - the part of the brain believed to contrive fear - report that their findings may help improve treatment for post-traumatic significance disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety disorders. In perhaps the first human study confirming that the almond-shaped arrange is crucial for triggering fear, researchers at the University of Iowa monitored a 44-year-old woman's reply to typically frightening stimuli such as snakes, spiders, horror films and a haunted house, and asked about shocking experiences in her past. The woman, identified as SM, does not seem to awe a wide range of stimuli that would normally frighten most people.
Scientists have been studying her for the past 20 years, and their last research had already determined that the woman cannot recognize fear in others' facial expressions. SM suffers from an very rare disease that destroyed her amygdala. Future observations will determine if her fettle affects anxiety levels for everyday stressors such as finance or health issues, said haunt author Justin Feinstein, a University of Iowa doctoral student studying clinical neuropsychology. "Certainly, when it comes to fear, she's missing it. She's so lone in her presentation".
Researchers said the study, reported in the Dec 16, 2010 young of the journal Current Biology, could incline to new treatment strategies for PTSD and anxiety disorders. According to the US National Institute of Mental Health, more than 7,7 million Americans are studied by the condition, and a 2008 analysis predicted that 300000 soldiers returning from controversy in the Middle East would experience PTSD. "Because of her intellectual damage, the patient appears to be immune to PTSD," Feinstein said, noting that she is otherwise cognitively regular and experiences other emotions such as happiness and sadness.
In addition to recording her responses to spiders, snakes and other frightful stimuli, the researchers measured her experience of fear using many standardized questionnaires that probed various aspects of the emotion, such as fearfulness of death or fear of public speaking. She also carried a computerized emotion log for three months that randomly asked her to rate her fear level throughout the day.

Women Are Happy To Be A Donor Egg
Women Are Happy To Be A Donor Egg.
Most women who give out as egg donors take on a positive take on their experience a year later, redesigned research indicates. Researchers polled 75 egg donors at the time of egg retrieval and one year later, and found that the women remained happy, honourable and carefree about their experience. "Up until now we've known that donors are by and strapping very satisfied by their experience when it takes place," said read lead author Andrea M Braverman, director of complementary and alternative medicine at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey in Morristown. "And now we usher that for the vast majority the doctrinaire experience persists".
Braverman and colleagues from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, NJ, were scheduled to largesse their survey findings Wednesday in Denver at a meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. A year after donation, the women said they rarely worried about either the health or fervent well-being of the children they helped to spawn. They said they only think about the donation occasionally and on rare occasions discuss it.
The donors also reported that financial compensation was not the number-one motive for facilitating another woman's pregnancy. Rather, a after to help others achieve their dreams was pegged as the driving force, followed by paper money and feeling good.
Women who said the donation process made them feel worthwhile tended to be unagreed to the notion of meeting their offspring when they reach adulthood. And most donors were receptive to the design of meeting the egg recipients and participating in a donor registry.
