Does suppressing negative thoughts harm us? According to our paper in @ScienceAdvances with Zulkayda Mamat , suppressing fearful thoughts can improve mental health, done correctly, with bigger benefits seen in those with worse intrusive thought symptoms science.org/doi/full/10.11…

To my surprise, our Nature Reviews Neuroscience review on the Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Inhibitory Control of Thought has landed on the cover! Cover art below! For an "explainer thread", see our earlier tweet. @mrccbu #memory #ptsd x.com/Memory_Control…

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with S. Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia integrating 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this function. @mrccbu nature.com/articles/s4158… #memory #ptsd @PsychToday @Psychonomic_Soc
