Abstract
⺠There is evidence of exaggerated insula reactivity to threat in social anxiety. ⺠Aberrant insula-prefrontal interactions may underlie social anxiety. ⺠We examined insula-prefrontal functional connectivity in social anxiety. ⺠Socially anxious subjects showed insula hyper-reactivity to fear versus happy faces. ⺠Socially anxious subjects had less insula-anterior cingulate coupling than controls.
