^ Definitive pathophysiologic mechanisms have not yet been determined, but anxiety symptoms and the resulting disorders are believed to be due to disrupted modulation within the central nervous system.
^ Specifically, deficiencies involving the central nervous system's inhibitory neurotransmitters, gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA) and glycine, appear to be involved in the development of anxiety disorders, while other neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine have been more closely linked to depression.
A number of
anxiolytics achieve their effect by modulating the GABA receptors.

^ For example, recent studies of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that people with OCD had significantly less white matter than control subjects, suggesting a widely distributed brain abnormality in OCD. Imaging studies are also looking at how brain structure may be related to PTSD. For instance, a part of the brain involved in emotion, called the hippocampus, tends to be smaller in some people with PTSD. Researchers are also trying to decipher whether that is a result of extreme stress responses related to the trauma or whether people who already have a smaller hippocampus are more prone to PTSD. .- Anxiety Disorders | HealthyWomen 10 February 2010 11:28 UTC www.healthywomen.org [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]
