Treating anxiety
Some HDAC2 inhibitors have been approved to treat cancer, and Tsai says she believes it is worth trying such drugs to treat PTSD. “I hope this will convince people to seriously think about taking this into clinical trials and seeing how well it works,” she says.
Such drugs might also be useful in treating people who suffer from phobias and other anxiety disorders, she adds.
Tsai’s lab is now studying what happens to memory traces when re-exposure to traumatic memories occurs at different times. It is already known that memories are formed in the hippocampus and then transferred to the cortex for longer-term storage. It appears that the HDAC2 inhibitor treatment may somehow restore the memory to the hippocampus so it can be extinguished, Tsai says.
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Picower Neurological Disorder Fund, the Stanley Medical Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Good luck and GOD bless,
