Abstract
⺠We investigated patients suffering from dental phobia and healthy controls. ⺠Participants were exposed to phobia-relevant, pleasant and neutral sounds. ⺠We examined neural activation via near infrared spectroscopy. ⺠Patients displayed increased premotor cortex activation during symptom provocation. ⺠This might mirror the priming of flight behavior.
