- In anxiety, learning modifies stimulus representation in primary cortex and amygdala
- Altered representation leads to later reduced discrimination even in a safe context
- These changes in perceptual thresholds contribute to overgeneralization in patients
- A wide affective network mediates both positive and negative stimuli during learning
- Lisa Rapaport, "People with anxiety may be hard-wired to see world differently", Yahoo News, March 8, 2016
- Popular media article reporting on the above research.
