The relation between frontal EEG asymmetry and the risk for anxiety and depression.

Biological psychology - 1 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

Frontal asymmetry of EEG alpha power (FA) may index the risk for anxiety and depression. Evidence linking FA to the underlying biological mechanisms is scarce. This is unfortunate because FA has potential as a biological marker to support gene finding in anxiety and depression. We examined the heritability of FA in 732 twins and their singleton siblings, and established the genetic and environmental contribution...
