Scientists have developed a powerful new method for selectively and reversibly breaking connections between brain cells—a ...

the amygdala–hippocampus–medial prefrontal cortex circuit. This suggests that while the disorders affect different parts of the brain, they all share vulnerabilities within a common neural network.
