Joseph LeDoux, a scientist who studies fear and anxiety in humans, recently announced that fear and anxiety do not occur in one area of the brain but many.
研究恐懼和焦慮的科學家約瑟夫·勒杜最近宣布,恐懼和焦慮不在大腦的一個區域出現。
LeDoux’s new theory is that fear and anxiety are completely separate and happen in different parts of the brain.
勒杜的新理論是,恐懼和焦慮是完全分離的,在大腦的不同部位發生。
When a someone detects a threat in their environment and gets into defense mode, that’s when fear and anxiety happen simultaneously.
當一個人在環境中發現威脅并進入防御模式時,恐懼和焦慮就會同時發生。
LeDoux also criticized how anti-anxiety drugs only focus on the part of the brain called the ‘fear circuit,’ rather than focusing on the actual fear and anxiety a person experiences.
勒杜還批評了抗焦慮藥物僅作用于大腦被稱為“恐懼電路”的部分,而不是關注一個人經歷的實際恐懼和焦慮。
