29th APS Annual Convention

<span>Understanding Fear Conditioning and Extinction Across the Anxiety Disorders</Span>

Friday, May 26, 2017 · Boston, MA

Clinical Science

Presentations will describe the psychophysiological and neural correlates of fear conditioning and extinction across non-PTSD fear and worry based anxiety disorders. Presentations will examine the critical role of sleep, and will demonstrate that 'failure' to show a conditioned response is linked to differences in the engagement of key brain regions.
