متن کاملNeurobiological Basis of Anxiety Disorders
The 1990s witnessed tremendous progress in the acquisition of knowledge about the molecular, cellular, and anatomic correlates of fear and anxiety. Advances in neuropharmacology and molecular biology have enabled elucidation of multiple chemical neurotransmitter systems that play roles in fear and anxiety behavior. The anatomic circuits where these transmitters participate in mediating and modu...

Research regarding the neurobiological aspects of PTSD and its development from single and/or multiple traumatic event(s) in childhood is limited to date.

These differences may be reflected in the finding that children appear to be less resilient to trauma than adults. Results o...
