Resumen:
Enhanced memory for emotionally arousing events is a highly adaptive
phenomenon that helps us remember both dangerous and favorable
situations.1 However, under certain conditions, intrusive and
persistent traumatic memories can lead to anxiety disorders, like
posttraumatic stress disorder. Current therapies for anxiety disorders
involve pharmacological or behavioral manipulations of long-lasting fear
memories in which patients explicitly recall the painful traumatic
experience. Despite recent advances, a major question of how to
effectively attenuate persistent fear memories in a safe and less
distressful manner remains unresolved.
