On that occasion, several possible mechanisms involved in fear and anxiety responses were discussed, which are very important for understanding various pathologies related to these disorders: “Discussions and understanding of these mechanisms can help in the development of new therapeutic strategies for anxiety and fear disorders”, explained Mariana.
Some event participants took advantage of their stay in Natal-RN to visit and learn about the work developed in Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (CEPS) and at IIN-ELS, units of the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) located in Macaíba-RN.
