DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Current treatment for stress and anxiety disorders
  are efficacious but leave room for improvement. As an experimental psycho
 pathology model\, Pavlovian fear conditioning has been used to investigate
  novel avenues to preventing\, or interfering with\, aversive memory. In m
 y talk\, I will present my own team's work on consolidation and reconsolid
 ation inhibition in human laboratory paradigms\, including results from a 
 purely behavioural procedure\, several RCTs with the synaptic plasticity-i
 nhibiting drug doxycycline\, and one with spatially targeted non-invasive 
 brain stimulation. \n\n*Biography:* Dominik R Bach is Professor for Cognit
 ive-Computational and Clinical Neuroscience at University College London. 
 He has a background in psychology\, medicine\, and mathematics\; and is a 
 trained psychiatrist. He and his team are interested in the neurobiology o
 f human threat avoidance\, including immediate escape as well as short- an
 d medium-term threat prediction\, and how this can be leveraged for clinic
 al interventions. For detailed biography of Prof Bach\, please visit: http
