<i>A Heavy Feeling in the Stomach</i>: Neural Correlates of Anxiety in Crohn's Disease
The differential association between functional connectivity and STAI scores observed for CD and HC participants was located in areas within self-referential (Default Mode Network) and cognitive (Left Fronto-Parietal Network and Dorsal Attention Network) RSNs. Our findings suggest that maladaptive/dysfunctional processing of negative emotions and visceral sensitivity may occur in patients with CD.
