Angiotensin, which regulates blood pressure may also act within the brain to mediate stress and fear responses. Common antihypertensive medication classes of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE‐Is) angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have been associated with lower PTSD symptoms.

Moreover, increasing evidence suggests that core aspects emotion-inhibitory are largely inherited as such may represent a key intermediate or risk-related phenotype for common affective diseases (e.g., unipolar depressive, anxiety disorders). The current study employed candidate-gene approach in order most effectively examine this complex behavioral phenotype....

In this investigation we explored how two dimensions underlying current models of psychopathology, threat sensitivity and executive cognitive processing, may come together to influence downstream responses social threat. Specifically, investigated set-shifting ability influences simulated peer-rejection in high sensitive individuals (n = 66) selected from a larger sample. Our findings suggest the possibility risk-reducing benefits imparted higher resources. particular, saw evidence greater...
