Sleep Depotentiates Amygdala Reactivity to Negative Stimuli in Youth with Elevated Symptoms of Anxiety

Recent studies suggest that sleep plays a role in depotentiating neural (e.g., amygdala) reactivity to aversive stimuli. Here, we extend this finding to youth, and also demonstrate that this effect is absent in youth with anxiety. Disruptions in sleep related affective habituation may be a critical, modifiable driver of anxiety in early adolescence.
