Summary

The research team hopes to use brain imaging and mental testing to learn more about specific phobias and the treatment of phobia. When given directly prior to therapy sessions, D-cycloserine has been shown to enhance the effects of therapy. This study hopes to identify reasons why D-cycloserine has this effect by measuring brain activity.
