Neurobiology of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in GAD: Aberrant Neurometabolic Correlation to Hippocampus and Relationship to Anxiety Sensitivity and IQ

The neurometabolism underlying the cognitive and affective symptoms associated with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) remain poorly understood. After we have linked worry to intelligence in patients with GAD, we hypothesized that aberrant neurometabolic correlations between hippocampus and neocortical regions may underlie a shared substrate in GAD patients for both anxiety sensitivity and intelligence.
