Patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is associated with abnormalities in the processing and regulation of cognition, and neuropsychological impairment as well. Despite recent studies for identifying the neural circuitry contributing to cognitive control, the differential neural mechanisms for a delayed-response working memory (WM) and cognitive inhibition components in GAD patients have not yet been specified.
