Abstract
The present results for the first time suggest NPSR1 gene variation to be associated with alterations of prefrontal functioning in the attentional functions alerting and executive control partly modulated by anxiety sensitivity. These findings may aid in unraveling the neurobiological underpinnings of distorted arousal and attention in anxiety and thereby possibly in the biomarker-guided development of preventive/therapeutic strategies targeting attention processes in anxiety disorders.
