Good Moments to Stimulate the Brain - A randomized controlled double-blinded study on anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex on two different time points in a two-day fear conditioning paradigm
Behav Brain Res. 2023 Dec 14:114804. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2023.114804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is assumed that extinction learning is a suitable model for understanding the mechanisms underlying exposure therapy. Furthermore, there is evidence that non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can elevate extinction learning by enhancing frontal brain activity and therefore NIBS can augment symptom reduction during exposure therapy in phobias. But, the underlying processes are still not well established. Open questions arise from NIBS time points and electrode placement, among others. Therefore, we investigated in a 2-day f...

Environmental enrichment improves cognitive function, learning, memory and anxiety-related behaviours in rodent models of dementia: implications for future study
Neurobiol Learn Mem. 2023 Dec 14:107880. doi: 10.1016/j.nlm.2023.107880. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmental enrichment (EE) is a process of brain stimulation by modifying the surroundings, for example, by changing the sensory, social, or physical conditions. Rodents have been used in such experimental strategies through exposure to diverse physical, social, and exploration conditions. The present study conducted an extensive analysis of the existing literature surrounding the impact of EE on dementia rodent models. The review emphasised the two principal aspects that are very closely related to dementia: cognitive...

Using values interventions to improve exposure therapy engagement in specific phobias.
Journal of Psychotherapy Integration, Vol 34(1), Mar 2024, 75-87; doi:10.1037/int0000320Exposure therapy is the gold standard for treating specific phobias (SPs). However, most individuals never seek treatment, refuse treatment, or prematurely drop out. This integrative review brings together literature from the fields of SPs, other anxiety and related disorders, exposure therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to identify reasons for limited engagement and to provide a potential solution. Operant processes involved in maintaining SPs are first discussed as drivers of limited willingness to engage with treatme...

Immersive Virtual Reality Exposures for the Treatment of Childhood Anxiety
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1007/s10578-023-01628-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExposure-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has demonstrated efficacy and is recommended as a front-line treatment for childhood anxiety. Unfortunately, challenges exist that impact the effective implementation of exposure-based CBT in clinical practice. One of the primary challenges is the accessibility and availability of exposure stimuli (e.g., spiders, storms, heights) in CBT sessions. Immersive virtual reality (VR) has shown promise as a scalable and sustainable solution to address this clinical need, but remains ...
