Why do we enjoy being afraid at
times, yet find ourselves debilitated
by fear at other times?
Discover how the burgeoning science
of fear is leading to a newfound
understanding of how the mind
works, as well as potentially powerful
new ways of treating and preventing
fear-related disorders.
The Science of Fear:

Join Dr. Kerry Ressler for insight into

is expressed similarly in the brains
of mice and men.
