Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Karyn M Myers"
- Karyn M Myers' recent research primarily focuses on understanding the mechanisms of conditioned responses related to drug addiction and anxiety disorders, particularly through the lens of extinction learning and its potential therapeutic applications.
- Her studies have highlighted the role of NMDA receptor antagonists and D-cycloserine in modulating the extinction of conditioned responses to drug-related cues and opiate withdrawal, suggesting their potential as treatment strategies to mitigate relapse.
- Additionally, Myers has investigated the neurobiological underpinnings of fear and addiction, identifying various pathways involved in memory and synaptic plasticity, thus contributing to broader knowledge on how to effectively treat conditions linked to maladaptive conditioned responses.
