Course Description
Relative to their respective age-matched healthy comparison groups, both adolescents and adults with social phobia showed a significantly increased response to emotional, but not neutral, facial expressions in the amygdala and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex. The observation of significant diagnosis-by-emotion interactions, but not diagnosis-by-age or diagnosis-by-age-by-emotion interactions, suggests that neural perturbations in adult social phobia, at least to emotional facial expressions, may represent persistent manifestations of abnormalities present in adolescence rather than the result of perturbed development.
