Abstract
⺠Anxiety adaptively increases vigilance to aversive stimuli. ⺠We used fMRI to examine emotional face processing during induced anxiety. ⺠Increased DMPFC-amygdala coupling was associated with increased aversive vigilance. ⺠Correlates with trait anxiety and may thus drive anxiety disorder vulnerability. ⺠May be the human homologue of the rodent prelimbic-amygdala circuit.
