Movement and Emotion: Unraveling Fear through Mobility
Research indicates that lateral eye movements can reduce amygdala activity, facilitating fear extinction learning, which involves unlearning emotional triggers. Neuroplasticity not only enables the creation of new synapses but also the removal of existing ones, allowing for the alleviation of emotional friction. Walking experiences a similar effect due to the natural side-to-side eye movement, potentially functioning as a form of EMDR therapy, which utilizes guided eye movements to help manage thoughts and emotions without the interference of fear. This dual activation of the orbiter frontal cortex and the inhibition of the amygdala highlights the physiological mechanisms behind EMDR and the groundbreaking nature of this research in neuroscience.
