Increasing the concentration of neurotrophin-3 in non-human primates results in changes in “positional anxiety,” the tendency to perceive many situations as threatening. UC Davis scientists initially [discovered](https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/brain-molecule-identified-key-anxiety-model) that molecular alterations occur in the dorsal amygdala of preadolescent rhesus macaques. The dorsal amygdala plays an important role in emotional responses, suggesting that the alterations might contribute to early-life anxiety. Altering the levels of neurotrophin-3 may decrease anxiety. For the millions who suffer from this debilitating condition, this news is promising.
