حساسیت به دی اکسید کربن و مطالعات ترجمه شده اختلالات اضطرابی

Data in humans and animals such as those reported in this issue of Neuroscience begin to reveal that CO2-driven behavioral responses stem from anatomo-physiological systems that are relatively separated from those subserving general dispositions to anxiety. This supports the notion that sensitivity to suffocative stimuli and ensuing human panic are significantly independent from trait/cognitive anxiety, and corroborates newer conceptualizations that distinguish between fear and anxiety circuitries.
