This talk will explore the origins of fear and panic in the human brain.  A brain structure known as the amygdala will be featured in a presentation that details the lives of rare individuals who are missing their amygdala. 

Justin Feinstein is a Clinical Neuropsychologist at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research and an Assistant Professor at the new Oxley College of Health Sciences at the University of Tulsa.  He received his PhD from the University of Iowa and completed his postdoctoral training at the California Institute of Technology.  His research examines how the human brain produces primal states of emotion, with an emphasis on the neuroscience of fear and treatments that alleviate anxiety.  His work has been published in a number of top scientific journals and has been featured in the popular press including the New York Times, TIME magazine, NPR, and New Scientist. 

​Dr. Feinstein serves as Director of the Float Clinic and Research Center (FCRC) at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research. The FCRC’s mission is to investigate the effects of floatation on both the body and the brain, as well as explore its potential as a therapeutic treatment for promoting mental health and healing in patients who suffer from anxiety.
