We set out to investigate rsfMRI and DTI to assess the
effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on neural
networks in patients with selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor (SSRI)-resistant social anxiety disorders
(SAD). Increased neuronal connectivity at rest was found
between the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and
striatum after 16-week CBT compared with healthy
subjects. Also, decreased FA value was observed in the
right anterior limb of the internal capsule after CBT.
These results suggested that changes in
emotional-related neural circuit by CBT exposed
alterations in functional and structural MRI.
