Grant Activity:
How hormones help to overcome fear: from rats to humans
Purpose:
This project aims to identify how sex hormones regulate the ability to overcome fear in male and female rats, and test the translation of these mechanisms in humans. Current theories of how we overcome fear are severely limited because they were derived from studies that overwhelmingly focused on males, and the impact of sex hormones has been relatively ignored in both sexes. This project is significant because it will lead to the development of ecologically valid, sex-specific models of how we overcome fear. The outcomes will illustrate how underlying mechanisms of fear regulation differ between males and females, and will provide a foundation from which future research can develop sex-specific means of optimising treatments for anxiety.
