🎙️ Speaker: Yuyang Li
Zhejiang University School of Medicine, China
Session Format: Oral Presentation
🧠 Presentation Topic: Modulating
a GABAergic Deficit in the Left DLPFC for Early Intervention in Individuals
with High Trait Anxiety
🔬 Key Takeaways
▪ Theme: Exploring the shared and distinct neural mechanisms of migraine
and anxiety vulnerability.
▪ Anxiety Model: Trait anxiety as a stable predisposition linked to
dysfunctional inhibitory control in the prefrontal cortex.
▪ Advanced Imaging: Application of ultra-high-field 7-Tesla MRI
to examine neurochemical and functional brain differences.
▪ Major Finding: Selective reduction of GABA levels in the left DLPFC
among individuals with high trait anxiety.
▪ Neural Correlates: Abnormal spontaneous neural activity accompanying
impaired GABAergic transmission.
▪ Continuum Evidence: Strong inverse relationship between GABA
concentration and anxiety severity across the full anxiety spectrum.
▪ Neuromodulation Trial: Targeted tDCS of the left DLPFC revealed
increased GABA levels and measurable anxiety improvement.
▪ Clinical Relevance: Highlights a plastic and targetable neural
deficit, opening avenues for preventive, non-invasive interventions.
