Controllability over stressor decreases responses in key threat-related brain areas
Limbachia et al conduct a fMRI study in which participants are shown stressful stimuli that is either controllable or not. They show that the ability to control a stressor results in reduced activity in key areas of the brain that coordinate responses to a perceived threat.
