TL;DR: A comprehensive meta-analysis of human fear-conditioning studies carried out with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), yielding a pooled sample of 677 participants from 27 independent studies, demonstrates that human fear conditioning is associated with a consistent and robust pattern of neural activation across a hypothesized genuine network of brain regions resembling existing anatomical descriptions of the ‘central autonomic–interoceptive network’.

TL;DR: “simple” coping behaviors may protect against anxiety and depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, as suggested by a survey of 5545 adult individuals from the Spanish general population.

TL;DR: The results partially support the notion of a shared neuroanatomy between human and rodent models of extinction processes, and encourage an expanded account of the neural basis of human fear extinction.

TL;DR: In this article, potential risk factors for symptoms or diagnosis of OCD in adulthood and for specific adult obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptom dimensions were examined in the Dunedin Study birth cohort using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) at ages 26 and 32 years.

TL;DR: There is substantial etiologic overlap across the different OC symptom dimensions, but dimension-specific genetic, and particularly nonshared environmental, factors are at least as important.
