Response:

A new method for treating trauma involves stimulating the brain during sleep. A study was conducted on mice, where researchers played a tone followed by a mild electrical shock to create a fear memory. Later, the mice were allowed to enter REM sleep while a laser activated certain brain cells. The mice showed less fear when exposed to the tone, suggesting the fear memory was weakened. This non-invasive method could potentially be used to treat PTSD and other anxiety disorders in the future.
