Proof of Concept: BNC210 Acute Administration Reduces Anxiety-Related
Biomarkers in Generalized Anxiety Disorder Patients
7
Amygdala activation is an imaging
surrogate for anxiety
BNC210 reduced activation of L & R
amygdala caused by viewing fearful faces
(L: p=0.011; R: p=0.006)
300 mg
Connectivity between the amygdala and
Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) is very
strong in high anxiety
BNC210 reduced connectivity between
amygdala and ACC while viewing fearful
faces (p=0.012)
