Effects of Lorazepam and citalopram on human defensive reactions: ethopharmacological differentiation of fear and anxiety.

5 Oct 2009 Drugs that are clinically effective against generalized anxiety disorder preferentially alter rodent risk assessment behavior, whereas drugs that are clinically effective against panic disorder preferentially alter rodent flight behavior. The ... Read more...

Physiological and psychological effects of escape from a sunken submarine on shore and at sea.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: The stress effects induced by diverse military scenarios are usually studied under tightly controlled conditions, while only limited research has addressed realistic scenarios. This study was designed to compare the effects of two ... Read more...

From threat to fear: the neural organization of defensive fear systems in humans.

28 Sep 2009 Postencounter and circa-strike defensive contexts represent two adaptive responses to potential and imminent danger. In the context of a predator, the postencounter reflects the initial detection of the potential threat, whereas the circa-strike is ... Read more...
