Abstract:Avoidance behavior is a major causal and maintaining factor in anxiety. As anxious individuals avoid social situations, their fear cannot be extinguished and context-appropriate behavior cannot be learned. It has been shown that successful emotion control over social approach-avoidance actions relies on theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling between the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) and the sensorimotor cortices (SMC). Emotional action control can also be facilitated by targeting theta-gamma phase-amplitude c… Show more
