Scientists Decode Brain Activity to Treat Anxiety and Depression
Recent studies by Northwestern Medicine uncover continuous interactions between the amygdala and the social cognitive network, critical for social behaviors and emotional processing. Overactivity in these connections is linked to anxiety and depression. Key findings highlight the medial nucleus of the amygdala’s role in processing emotions and facilitating social interactions. This research suggests improved applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treating mental health conditions. These insights pave the way for more effective treatments and deepen the understanding of brain functionality in social cognition.
