and anxiety take a significant toll each year on the quality
of life. The Center for the Neuroscience of Fear and
Anxiety is a new multi-institutional research center
funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Its goal
is to understand how changes in the brain foster and maintain
pathological anxiety states, such as those occurring in panic
attack and stress-related disorders, and to seek clues from
basic research on the brain that could lead to new treatments
for these devastating conditions. New York University is the
home base for the Center, which involves researchers at 5
major institutions in Manhattan, including Rockefeller University,
Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Cornell University Medical
College, and Columbia University, in addition to New York
University. |
