Identifying neural correlates of response to psychological treatment may inform targets for interventions designed to treat psychiatric disorders. This study examined the extent to which baseline functioning in reward circuitry is associated with response to psychotherapy in youth with anxiety disorders. A randomized clinical trial of cognitive behavioral therapy versus comparison supportive therapy was conducted in youth with anxiety disorders. Prior to treatment, 72 youths (9–14 years old) with anxiety disorders, and 37 group-matched healthy comparison youth, completed a monetary reward functional MRI task. Treatment response was defined categorically as at least a 35% reduction in diagnostician-rated anxiety severity from pre- to post-treatment. Pretreatment neural activation in the striatum and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) during monetary wins relative to losses was examined in relation to treatment response. Responders, non-responders, and healthy youth differed significantly in mPFC activation to rewards vs. losses at baseline. Youth with anxiety exhibited higher mPFC activity relative to healthy youth, though this may have been driven by differences in depressive symptoms. Planned comparisons between treatment responders (n=48) and non-responders (n=24) also revealed greater pretreatment neural activation in a cluster encompassing the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex and nucleus accumbens for responders. Striatal activation to reward receipt may not differentiate youth with anxiety from healthy youth. However, higher striatal responsivity to rewards may allow youth with anxiety to improve during treatment, potentially through more greater engagement in therapy. Function in reward circuitry may guide development of treatments for youth with anxiety. NCT00774150
