It is suggested that in BPD patients the ACC might mediate compensatory cognitive processes during emotional interference and that such neurocognitive compensation that can be adversely affected by high levels of anxiety.

The results suggest that amygdala function is affected in both anxiety and depression during childhood and adolescence, and this disruption appears to be specific to the child's own rating of everyday anxiety.

Direct in vivo evidence of a differential neural response in the human amygdala to facial expressions of fear and happiness is reported, providing direct evidence that the humangdala is engaged in processing the emotional salience of faces, with a specificity of response to fearful facial expressions.
