Abstract
This study examined the interaction between anxiety and cognition using Sternberg Working Memory paradigm and threat of shock. Threat affected BOLD activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex differentially for maintenance and manipulation trials. These results suggest working memory manipulation and maintenance differentially interact with induced anxiety.
