Comparison of resting-state functional connectivity between generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder: Differences in the nucleus accumbens and thalamus network

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD) are distinguished by whether anxiety is limited to social situations. However, reports on the differences in brain functional networks between GAD and SAD are few. Our objective is to understand the pathogenesis of GAD and SAD by examining the differences in resting brain function between patients with GAD and SAD and healthy controls (HCs).
