The cost of scrutiny: social anxiety constrains frontal-midline theta-dependent neural network reconfigurations during probabilistic learning Open

Hanjie Liu, Melle J. W. van der Molen · 2025

Social anxiety is reliably characterized by biases toward avoidance and aversive learning. Frontal-midline theta (FM-theta) oscillations have been implicated as a key neural mechanism underlying these learning biases. Here we combined dyna…

Frontal-midline theta promotes context-dependent risk aversion in social anxiety Open
