The document summarizes research on altered functional brain connectivity patterns related to anxiety and depression. It discusses types of anxiety like trait and state anxiety. Key differences between anxiety and depression are outlined. Signs and symptoms of anxiety disorders are described along with their underlying neural circuitry. One research paper is summarized in more detail, finding decreased effective connectivity from the inferior temporal gyrus to the amygdala and increased connectivity between the amygdala and visual cortices in social anxiety disorder patients compared to healthy controls based on a resting-state fMRI study.
