Cholinergic Modulation of Disorder-Relevant Neural Circuits in Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Cholinergic Modulation of Disorder-Relevant Neural Circuits in Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a scholarly work by Steven C. R. Williams, published in 2020 in ''Biological Psychiatry''. The main subjects of the publication include cholinergic, anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, amygdala, psychology, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, anxiety, neuroscience, anxiolytic, and prefrontal cortex. These results demonstrate for the first time that the function of disorder-relevant neural circuits in generalized anxiety disorder can be beneficially altered through modulation of cholinergic neurotransmission and suggest potential for this system as a novel target for anxiolytic pharmacotherapy.
