Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortical Thickness Is Associated with Improvement in Worry Severity Following Treatment in Late-Life Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Abstract:We recently showed that late-life participants with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), compared with non-anxious elderly, had lower cortical thickness in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). In this follow-up study, we investigated the association between cortical thickness and clinical markers of treatment response in a subgroup from that same sample. Twelve GAD participants were randomly selected and were included in an open label twelve-week treatment with citalopr… Show more
