Fascinating study.
For those who didn't read any of it: anxious people's brains use a different area when regulating emotions. Unfortunately the connection to this area may be more easily saturated during high emotional states.
So, over stressed/anxious brains appear to have a different routing setup than everyone else. Very interesting find!
- bytefactory 3y agoI'm hoping this will lead to more effective medical or non-medical interventions. Seems like major progress in our understanding.
- dathinab 3y agoI'm not surprised tbh. This fits very well with what you can see in anxious people, especially when combined with depression. Through I guess the meat of the paper is in all the subtle biological details they found, which I just honestly do not understand at all.

I do wonder if the FPl is overactive and needs to be slowed down like the article suggests (which hurts behavior in non-anxious people), or if the amygdala is jamming the FPl with excessive signalling (and needs to be slowed down).
- bloopernova 3y agoYeah, I was thinking about the treatment possibilities while reading. My wife has very high anxiety, which cannabis edibles mitigates pretty well, so I wonder if the pot is affecting those areas.
