In our new review paper, “White Matter Plasticity in Anxiety: Disruption of Neural Network Synchronization during Threat-Safety Discrimination”, we argue that stress- and anxiety-related disorders are associated with altered myelin plasticity. In turn, changes in myelin plasticity, compromise synchronous communication within circuits that are crucial for proper learning of threat - safety discrimination.
