Present and Future Goals Erasing traumatic memory Finding neuronal markers of individual differences in fear Discovering new ways to help children and adults reduce anxiety so that anxiety disorders don’t develop drugs that eliminate memory in amygdala after remembering Structural, physiological, and genetic correlates of extreme fear in the amygdala Dampening amygdala activity by stress reduction techniques (controlled breathing)- shuts down fight-flight response Drugs or gene therapy that targets the amygdala
