Functional neuroimaging of anxiety: a meta-analysis of emotional processing in PTSD, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobia.
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… Expand
Emotional processing in anterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex
- A. Etkin, T. Egner, R. Kalisch
- Psychology, Medicine
- Trends in Cognitive Sciences
- 1 February 2011
Negative emotional stimuli activate a broad network of brain regions, including the medial prefrontal (mPFC) and anterior cingulate (ACC) cortices. An early influential view dichotomized these… Expand
Resolving Emotional Conflict: A Role for the Rostral Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Modulating Activity in the Amygdala
- A. Etkin, T. Egner, Daniel M. Peraza, E. Kandel, J. Hirsch

- Neuron
- 21 September 2006
Effective mental functioning requires that cognition be protected from emotional conflict due to interference by task-irrelevant emotionally salient stimuli. The neural mechanisms by which the brain… Expand
Dissociable neural systems resolve conflict from emotional versus nonemotional distracters.

The human brain protects the processing of task-relevant stimuli from interference ("conflict") by task-irrelevant stimuli via attentional biasing mechanisms. The lateral prefrontal cortex has been… Expand
Major depressive disorder

- Nature Reviews Disease Primers
- 15 September 2016
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease that is characterized by depressed mood, diminished interests, impaired cognitive function and vegetative symptoms, such as disturbed sleep… Expand
Resting-state connectivity biomarkers define neurophysiological subtypes of depression
- A. Drysdale, L. Grosenick, +19 authors C. Liston
- Medicine
- Nature Medicine
- 2017
Biomarkers have transformed modern medicine but remain largely elusive in psychiatry, partly because there is a weak correspondence between diagnostic labels and their neurobiological substrates.… Expand
Failure of anterior cingulate activation and connectivity with the amygdala during implicit regulation of emotional processing in generalized anxiety disorder.
- A. Etkin, Katherine E Prater, F. Hoeft, Vinod Menon, A. Schatzberg
- Psychology, Medicine
- The American journal of psychiatry
- 1 May 2010
OBJECTIVE
Clinical data suggest that abnormalities in the regulation of emotional processing contribute to the pathophysiology of generalized anxiety disorder, yet these abnormalities remain poorly… Expand
Disrupted amygdalar subregion functional connectivity and evidence of a compensatory network in generalized anxiety disorder.

CONTEXT
Little is known about the neural abnormalities underlying generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Studies in other anxiety disorders have implicated the amygdala, but work in GAD has yielded… Expand
Individual Differences in Trait Anxiety Predict the Response of the Basolateral Amygdala to Unconsciously Processed Fearful Faces

- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 16 December 2004
Responses to threat-related stimuli are influenced by conscious and unconscious processes, but the neural systems underlying these processes and their relationship to anxiety have not been clearly… Expand
