Magazine Article: "What happens in the brain when we experience a panic attack?"

As an admitted nerd, I read Scientific American when something catches my eye.  I happened across this article yesterday and finally got around to reading it this morning. It's titled, "What happens in the brain when we experience a panic attack?" and is perhaps very uninformative for many of us.  Nevertheless, it does provide some detail and new insight on panic and anxeity -- and the mechanisms that get revved up when we go through withdrawal that we hyper-sensitize by withdrawing from benzodiazepines.

Unfortunately, if you don't have a subscription, it's going to cost to read the entire article.  Apologies for that, but at least perhaps someone will find it interesting.
