Unfortunately, the understanding of the precise neurobiological mechanisms that underlie these disorders remains limited. Current diagnostic classifications, based on observable symptoms rather than underlying pathophysiology, do not capture the heterogeneity within and across anxiety disorders. Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have provided new insights into the neural circuits implicated in pathological anxiety, revealing dysfunctions that cut across traditional diagnostic boundaries. In this Review, we synthesize evidence that highlights abnormalities in neurobehavioural systems related to negative valence, positive valence, cognitive systems and social processes. We emphasize that pathological anxiety arises not only from heightened reactivity in acute threat (‘fear’) circuits but also from alterations in circuits that mediate distant (potential) and sustained threat, reward processing, cognitive control and social processing. We discuss how circuit vulnerabilities can lead to the emergence and maintenance of pathological anxiety. Once established, these neural abnormalities can be exacerbated by maladaptive behaviours that prevent extinction learning and perpetuate anxiety disorders. By delineating the specific neural mechanisms in each neurobiological system, we aim to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the neurobiology of anxiety disorders, potentially informing future research directions in this field. Delineating the neurobiology of pathological anxiety remains challenging. In this Review, Akiki et al. synthesize task-based functional MRI evidence for how vulnerabilities within circuits that mediate acute, distant and sustained threat, reward processing, cognitive control and social processing can lead to its emergence and maintenance.","PeriodicalId":49142,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Neuroscience","volume":"26 1","pages":"5-22"},"PeriodicalIF":28.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142718420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intriguingly, different types of treatment with fairly rapid antidepressant effects (within days or a few weeks), such as ketamine, electroconvulsive therapy and non-invasive neurostimulation, seem to converge on enhancement of neural plasticity. However, the forms and mechanisms of plasticity that link antidepressant interventions to the restoration of excitatory synaptic function are still unknown. In this Review, we highlight preclinical research from the past 15 years showing that ketamine and psychedelic drugs can trigger the growth of dendritic spines in cortical pyramidal neurons. We compare the longitudinal effects of various psychoactive drugs on neuronal rewiring, and we highlight rapid onset and sustained time course as notable characteristics for putative rapid-acting antidepressant drugs. Furthermore, we consider gaps in the current understanding of drug-evoked in vivo structural plasticity. We also discuss the prospects of using synaptic remodelling to understand other antidepressant interventions, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Finally, we conclude that structural neural plasticity can provide unique insights into the neurobiological actions of psychoactive drugs and antidepressant interventions. Rapid-acting antidepressant interventions, such as ketamine and psilocybin, are thought to enhance neural plasticity. This Review outlines evidence of synaptic deficits in individuals with major depressive disorder before discussing in vivo longitudinal studies of antidepressant-evoked structural plasticity in rodents. Translational opportunities, research gaps and challenges are also considered.","PeriodicalId":49142,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Neuroscience","volume":"26 2","pages":"101-114"},"PeriodicalIF":28.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142668489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
