项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pediatric anxiety disorders, from preschool through adolescence, are prevalent, impairing, and associated with increased risk for depression and anxiety disorders in adulthood. We propose a longitudinal, cohort study of children diagnosed with three common anxiety disorders: social phobia (SoPh), separation anxiety disorder (SAD), and/or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) as preschoolers (ages 2-5). We will employ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and eye tracking to characterize the development and to identify the neural basis of deficits in emotion processing and social perception in young children diagnosed with these early onset anxiety disorders. We will recruit 180 subjects (120 with SAD, GAD and/or SoPh; 60 with no psychiatric disorder as preschoolers) one year after they participate in a current NIMH funded, cross-sectional study of preschool anxiety disorders in a representative sample of children recruited from pediatric primary care. The children will be followed annually across five years of data collection. Our aims are: (1) Identification of dysfunctions of the neural circuitry involved in emotion processing in children with preschool SAD, SoPh, and GAD (2) Examination of the mechanisms underlying the persistence and development of functional abnormalities in the neural circuitry involved in emotion processing in children with preschool SoPh, GAD, and SAD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposed study has the potential to make substantial contributions to our understanding of the nature and development of the brain: behavior relationship in children with early onset anxiety disorders. It would also be the first longitudinal study of a representative sample of typically developing children using imaging and eye tracking approaches. This work will contribute to our understanding of early childhood mental health disorders and lead toward the development of reliable treatments and preventive interventions for young children with impairing anxiety.

描述（由申请人提供）：儿童焦虑症，从学龄前到青春期，是普遍的，损害性的，并与成年后抑郁症和焦虑症的风险增加有关。我们提出了一个纵向，队列研究的儿童诊断为三种常见的焦虑症：社交恐惧症（SoPh），分离焦虑症（SAD），和/或广泛性焦虑症（GAD）作为学龄前儿童（年龄2-5）。我们将采用功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）和眼动追踪来表征这些早发性焦虑症患儿的发展，并确定其情绪处理和社会感知缺陷的神经基础。我们将招募180名受试者（120名患有SAD，GAD和/或SoPh; 60名学龄前儿童没有精神障碍），他们参加了目前NIMH资助的学龄前焦虑障碍横断面研究，在儿科初级保健招募的儿童代表性样本中。在五年的数据收集期间，将每年对这些儿童进行随访。我们的目标是：（1）识别学龄前SAD、SoPh和GAD儿童中涉及情绪处理的神经回路功能障碍（2）检查学龄前SoPh、GAD和SAD儿童中涉及情绪处理的神经回路功能异常持续和发展的机制。公共卫生相关性：这项拟议的研究有可能为我们理解大脑的性质和发展做出实质性贡献：早发性焦虑症儿童的行为关系。这也将是第一次使用成像和眼动追踪方法对典型发育儿童的代表性样本进行纵向研究。这项工作将有助于我们了解幼儿心理健康障碍，并为患有损害性焦虑的幼儿制定可靠的治疗和预防干预措施。
