Well, it starts with the amygdala, your brain’s built-in alarm ... reshaping the brain’s pathways back to where they were before the anxiety brain changes took hold. And, of course, consistent ...

The researchers also traced the inputs to the LC, identifying two key upstream regions: the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and the central amygdala (CeA). Notably, the BNST→LC→ACC pathway ...
