Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is one of the most common and disabling anxiety disorders, yet much remains to be learned about its psychobiology. Although functional imaging has emphasized the role of the amygdala and other limbic structures in the neurobiology of SAD, structural and connectivity imaging techniques have emphasized the possibility of abnormalities in other regions and in whole-brain networks. The involvement of a broad range of networks in SAD is consistent with current understandings of the neuroanatomy of emotion and of social processing.
社交焦虑障碍（SAD）是最常见且使人致残的焦虑症之一，然而关于其心理生物学仍有许多有待了解之处。尽管功能成像强调了杏仁核及其他边缘结构在社交焦虑障碍神经生物学中的作用，但结构和连接性成像技术强调了其他区域及全脑网络存在异常的可能性。社交焦虑障碍中广泛网络的参与与当前对情绪神经解剖学和社交处理的理解相一致。
