Neural and molecular mechanisms in anxiety

O M Wolkowitz et al. Psychiatr Clin North Am. 1985 Mar.

Abstract

The recent discoveries of the benzodiazepine receptor and of antagonist compounds, such as beta-CCE, have advanced our understanding of the neurochemistry of anxiety. In this review we summarize the evidence implicating the benzodiazepine receptor in anxiety and relate this model to other models of anxiety.
