Scientists finds altered attention-related brain connectivity in youth with anxiety
A large neuroimaging study has found that generalized anxiety disorder in youth is linked to increased connectivity in brain circuits involved in attention and emotion, and that these patterns may change with symptom remission.
Children who view their homes, schools, or neighborhoods as threatening may be more likely to develop mental health difficulties. These are linked to changes in brain connectivity during early adolescence, which predict anxiety, depression, and attention problems months and even years later. 🏠🏫🌆🧠💔
