Predicting Treatment Response in Social Anxiety Disorder from Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Attentional Mechanisms Related to Visual Perception.

It was also discovered that social anxiety patients had abnormally low levels of attention in visual regions and that may lead to avoiding angry faces. Researchers found that a treatment approach for this disorder is to train the patients to alter their attention more to faces. This finding helps the researchers predict treatment response by allowing them to know the attention levels of the patients during an fMRI.
