Holmes’ (2019) review in Nature journal summarizes how Baek et al’s (2019) article sheds more light on possible mechanisms of EMDR therapy: “A treatment called eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing alleviates post-traumatic stress disorder through enigmatic mechanisms. A study in mice offers potential clues into the biological basis of this approach.”
