Abstract in brief

  • Anxiety and stress in children influence how their brain circuits, particularly the amygdala and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), interact during emotion regulation, making it harder for them to reappraise negative stimuli effectively.
  • The study used brain imaging and computational models to show that higher anxiety and stress increase the influence of the amygdala on the DLPFC, which may disrupt proper decision-making during emotional challenges.
  • Overall, these insights help us understand the neurocircuit mechanisms behind emotional difficulties in stressed or anxious children and could guide early interventions for affective disorders.
