Neuroplasticity in response to cognitive behavior therapy for social anxiety disorder
Overview
This study investigates how cognitive behavior therapy affects brain structure and function in 26 participants with social anxiety disorder compared to a control group and healthy controls. The authors report that successful CBT was associated with decreased gray matter volume and reduced neural responsivity in the amygdala, which correlated with lower anticipatory anxiety. The resource presents findings suggesting that structural plasticity in this brain region may mediate the reduction of social anxiety symptoms following treatment.
