5 components of threat assessment and response
|
1. Detection
2. Discrimination 3. Rapid, coordinated response 4. Return to Baseline 5. Memory |
|
Detection
|
- Precise Exteroreception via 5 senses
- Imprecise Interoception via proprioception and visceral sensation |
|
Discrimination
|
-Relevant stimuli
-Novel vs. known stimuli -Harmful vs. benign stimuli |
|
Rapid and Coordinated Responses
|
-Conscious attention and appraisal
-Automatic innate and learned behaviors -Autonomic support |
|
Return to Baseline
|
-Threat responses are not sustainable
-De-escalation via concious decisions, habituation, and negative homeostatic feedback |
|
Memory
|
Long term storage to enhance effectiveness of future responses in the previous 4 mechanisms
|
|
Temperament Genetics of anxiety
-Behavioral Inhibition -Neurotic temperament |
Behavioral Inhibition
-withdrawal from novel situations -exaggerated autonomic and HPA response -poor habituation -predisposes to panic disorder and social phobia Neurotic temperament -chronic worry -intermittment dysphoria -psyhosomatic complaints -associated with 5HT receptor gene promoter variations -predisposes to GAD |

Pathology of anxiety disorders
Phobias Panic Disorder Social Phobia GAD OCD PTSD |
Phobias: some innate, mostly conditioning
Panic Disorder: response to novelty, conditioning, cognition Social Phobia: response to novelty, conditioning, cognition GAD: Global modulation OCD: 5HT modulation of PFC-limbic pathways PTSD: Conditioning (1-trial), discrimination, de-escalation |
