Brain's fear 'switch' located

Washington: US researchers have identified an " on-off "

switch in the brain that controls the emotional

response to fear, and said it

might some day be manipulated to help patients with

anxiety disorders.

 

The Columbia University Medical Centre team used an

attention test and a type of real-time brain scan

called functional magnetic resonance imaging, which

can catch the brain in action.

 

It showed an area in the rostral cingulate (rACC)

region of the brain was involved in turning on or off

the fear response in the amygdala the almond-shaped

brain centre where emotional responses to

fear are processed.

 

" People are exposed to an ever-increasing amount of

stimuli in our everyday lives, and so we realised that

the brain must employ a processing mechanism to

prioritise and refine responses... " said Dr

Joy Hirsch, who led the study, published in the

journal Neuron.

 

They used a test called the Stroop test to measure

mental flexibility by forcing people to choose between

a word's meaning and its colour.

 

For instance, someone may be asked to read a list of

words such as " red " , " yellow " , or " green " in which the

word " red " might be written in blue ink, " yellow " in

pink ink and so on. People usually respond more

quickly if the colour and word match.

 

Hirsch's team adapted this test, using photographs of

fearful and happy faces, with " FEAR " or " HAPPY "

written across the images.

 

The rostral cingulate seemed to light up just before

the amygdala was activated. The amygdala activated at

first if FEAR was written across a happy face, and

then the rostral cingulate would activate,

as the image of the smiling face registered, after

which the amygdala would calm down, they said.

 

But the amygdala stayed activated for longer, and the

rostral cingulate stayed unlit longer, if a fearful

face also carried

the " FEAR " label.

Dear Krishnakumar,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

The Blue Pearl is not the brain's fear switch.

 

Love,
