Lower Brain Functionality Revealed in Psychiatric Inpatients with Anxiety, AUD
Research from The Menninger Clinic's Senior Research Scientist Ramiro Salas, PhD, and his colleagues has been published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. Their paper, Functional Brain Connectivity of the Salience Network in Alcohol Use and Anxiety Disorders, is based on a large data set from Menninger inpatients and may provide an important link to the future of comorbid treatment, says Dr. Salas.
The authors demonstrated significant alterations in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) within the salience network (SN) among psychiatric inpatients with alcohol use disorder and anxiety disorders.
Findings revealed lower functional connectivity between the right supramarginal gyrus (SMG) and the rostral prefrontal cortex (RPFC) in patients with both of these disorders compared to those with neither condition, according to Dr. Salas.
In addition to his role at Menninger, Dr. Salas is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry Research at Baylor College of Medicine.
