Individuals with high anxiety show heightened neural activation in affective processing regions, including the amygdala and insula. Activations have been shown to be correlated with anxiety severity, but although anxiety is a heterogeneous state, prior studies have not systematically disentangled whether neural activity in affective processing circuitry is uniquely related to specific domains o...

motorcyclists consist most of population of traffic foundation. more statistic of accident, more danger of injury, being in open and load environment can be of causes to make motorcyclists in exposure to more anxiety in comparison to other vehicles. motorcyclist's anxiety can be one of the most significant reasons in accidents. in this study we surveyed the rate of anxiety in motorcyclists...
