The connections in the regions of the brain that contribute to whether we develop anxiety disorders may be something we inherit, according to a study.
Patterns of brain activity associated with anxiety in monkeys are passed from parent to child, researchers report today (July 30) in the Journal of Neuroscience. The results could give clues to the heritability of severe anxiety in humans and how to treat it. In the study, Ned Kalin of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and colleagues studied the stress response and cortisol levels of 378 young monkeys after an intruder entered the animal cage. The researchers also took scans of the monkeys’ brains while the animals were anesthetized and found that the monkeys with greater stress responses had differences in brain activity in the extended amygdala compared with those that were less stressed.

Noted: “What they’re showing through some fairly sophisticated modeling is that the temperature increase over next 100 years will be fairly significant if we continue business as usual,” said Benjamin Zuckerberg, associate professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology. “I think its concerning because this is a species we’d expect to be relatively resilient. But even a resilient and fairly widespread species is going to be impacted in this increasing temperature.”
