Resting rhythms and arousal patterns in panic disorder.
What the study found
This study compared 52 people with panic disorder with 104 matched controls. Resting EEG showed lower spectral power, particularly in the lower-alpha range with eyes closed, alongside differences in the spatial distribution of activity.
What this tells us
The findings connect panic disorder with measurable resting brain rhythms. The study specifically examined panic disorder, one form of anxiety.
