Here is a copy of the paper from Ruth Lanius et al that reports on the hyper functional connectivity between the periaqueductal gray, (PAG), the superior colliculus and the amygdala. The take home from this paper is that these reptilian structures at the juncture of the brain stem and the midbrain are the primary threat […]

A question that occurs to me is whether we are aren’t already positively affecting gamma, almost regardless of the neurofeedback we are doing given the network connections and harmonics in the brain? If not, couldn’t we optimize our approaches to focus on gamma enhancement both to help those with Alzheimer’s or to help prevent it? […]

In brief, this studies suggests that exposure therapy is at the least not necessary and that through fMRI neurofeedback people can learn to change patterns of neural activation associated with fear learning. The same, of course, can be done with neurofeedback. http://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-016-0006
