Fear Processing in Dental Phobia during Crossmodal Symptom Provocation: An fMRI Study
While previous studies successfully identified the core neural substrates of the animal subtype of specific phobia, only few and inconsistent research is available for dental phobia. These findings might partly relate to the fact that, typically, visual stimuli were employed. The current study aimed to investigate the influence of stimulus modality on neural fear processing in dental phobia. Th...
متن کاملSource localization of late electrocortical positivity during symptom provocation in spider phobia: An sLORETA study
This symptom provocation study on spider phobia investigated sources of late event-related potentials (ERPs) using sLORETA (standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography). Twenty-five phobic female patients and 20 non-phobic controls were confronted with phobia-relevant, generally fear-inducing, disgust-inducing and affectively neutral pictures while an electroencephalogram was r...
متن کاملPosterior Midline Activation during Symptom Provocation in Acute Stress Disorder: An fMRI Study
Functional imaging studies of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder showed wide-spread activation of midline cortical areas during symptom provocation, i.e., exposure to trauma-related cues. The present study aimed at investigating neural activation during exposure to trauma-related pictures in patients with acute stress disorder (ASD) shortly after the traumatic event. Nineteen ASD pati...
متن کاملDental Phobia: The Fear of Dentists
Who does not know the feeling of uneasiness before going to the dentist? Certainly many have, and about 30% of the population reports to be actually afraid of going to the dentist. In some cases these fears are due to traumatic childhood experiences which can trigger palpitations, sweating, or a gagging reflex during dental treatment, but also sleeping problems the night before the dental visit...
متن کاملPrevalence of dental fear and phobia relative to other fear and phobia subtypes.
The purpose of the present study was to estimate the point prevalence of dental fear and dental phobia relative to 10 other common fears and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV-TR subtypes of specific phobia. Data were also analysed to examine differences with regard to severity, presence of distressing recollections of fear-related events, gender, and prevalence acro...
