|
In this Halloween special, “Research Reels: The Neurobiology of Fear,” we seek to understand what exactly is so thrilling about being frightened. We are joined by associate professor Dr. Christa McIntyre to explore the neurobiology of fear, why we are so drawn to fearful experiences, and how over-activation of the fear system can lead to disorders like anxiety and PTSD. The BBS student-led podcast Mindful Minutes is available on Anchor.fm and Spotify.
