Specific phobia: a disorder of fear conditioning and extinction.

CNS spectrums - 1 Apr 2006

Stein Dan J, Matsunaga Hisato

Abstract excerpt

Specific phobia is the most prevalent of the anxiety disorders. Although there have been relatively few studies of its psychobiology and pharmacotherapy, there is a rich laboratory of literature on fear conditioning and extinction and a clear evolutionary perspective. Advances in the cognitive-affective neuroscience of fear processing may ultimately lead to new approaches to the clinical management of phobias.
