Brain Networks And Clinical Manifestations Of Mood And Anxiety Disorders

Some of the most common psychiatric conditions that affect millions of people globally are mood and anxiety disorders. These conditions are frequently linked to modifications to functional brain networks. A deeper knowledge of the brain networks involved in the pathophysiology of these disorders has been made possible by recent developments in neuroscience. According to studies, the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, and striatum are only a few of the brain regions and neural circuits involved in mood and anxiety disorders. Changes in behavior, impaired cognition, and altered emotional processing can result from the dysregulation of these networks. These changes in brain networks are associated with various clinical manifestations of mood and anxiety disorders, such as emotional dysregulation, rumination, anhedonia, and cognitive biases. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying these symptoms is crucial for the development of more effective treatments for these disorders.

Therefore the goal of this Research Topic is to provide a broad overview of the neurobiology of brain networks and clinical manifestations of mood and anxiety disorders that may help inform the development of personalized and targeted interventions. More specifically, we welcome the submission of a range of types of manuscripts (research article, brief research article, mini-review, review, case report, opinion, perspective, etc..) focusing on, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Treatment response prediction in mood and anxiety disorders
• Neural biotypes of behavioral dimensions in mood and anxiety disorders
