Dr. Vogt co-authored with Dr. Kane Pryor from Weill Cornell Medicine, a review article titled "Anesthesia and the neurobiology of fear and postraummatic stress disorder" which was published in the Neuroanesthesia section of Current Opinion in Anesthesiology. This is a novel compilation of available research findings for how anesthetic and analgesic agents may affect the human fear system and the development of psychological sequalae after trauma or surgery.
Read ArticleResults from a behavioral study conducted by our group was published in Experimental Brain Research. This helps to clarify the effects that painful stimulation has on memory encoding in unsedated participants.
