Project: Modulating Anxiety by Selective Disruption of Hippocampal Sharp Waves
Dr. Damphousse's project aims to examine how anxiety-related events could be disrupted through neuromodulation applied to a specific brain region as these events occur, potentially enabling more selective and efficient treatment options than those currently available. By understanding the neural mechanisms underlying anxiety and targeting these mechanisms for therapeutic intervention, findings from this project may offer an alternative way forward in making treatment of anxiety easier and safer.
