Functional Neuroimaging of Anxiety: A Meta-Analysis of Emotional Processing in PTSD, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Specific Phobia

Abstract: Objective-The study of human anxiety disorders has benefited greatly from functional neuroimaging approaches. Individual studies, however, vary greatly in their findings. The authors searched for common and disorder-specific functional neurobiological deficits in several anxiety disorders. The authors also compared these deficits to the neural systems engaged during anticipatory anxiety in healthy subjects.Method-Functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography studies of posttraumatic st… Show more

“…Greenberg et al (2013b) investigated their fear generalization paradigm with a group of patients with generalized anxiety disorders (GAD). Functional connectivity analyses focused on coupling with the anterior insular (aINS), as the insula is generally implicated in anxiety-specific neurobiological deficits, including overexpression of fMRI activity to learned threats or intrinsically anxietyprovoking stimuli (Etkin & Wager, 2007;Paulus & Stein, 2006). Connectivity analyses revealed increased right aINS coupling with the right posterior insula, ACC, amygdala and supplementary motor area, in line with the idea that the aINS is a hub where somatosensory and visceral input is integrated and relayed to other areas that guide fear-related behaviors (ACC, amygdala, SMA).…”

“…[15] The amygdala, and particularly the BLA, is also involved in the development of anxiety-like behavior. [13,17] Imaging studies of clinical populations show that patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety disorders exhibit increased activation of the amygdala [24] but reduced resting state connectivity between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. [17] Amygdalar expression of microRNAs also appears to be involved in the modulation of anxiety-like behavior.…”

“…[24,31] A recent investigation from our group aimed to bridge this gap by examining cued fear conditioning, which is considered a more specific behavioral read-out of amygdala function. [101] Using a modification of the classical conditioning protocol, it was demonstrated for the first time that amygdala-dependent fear memory is compromised in GF mice.…”

“…Le complexe amygdalo-hippocampique est en effet densément interconnecté, facilitant ainsi l'encodage des événements émotionnels. La NiF a ainsi permis de montrer que l'hyperréactivité de l'AMG (et d'autres régions frontales) est associée à la physiopathologie des troubles anxieux [13] (Figure 2). …”
