Abstract
Exposure to violence is associated with increased risk for anxiety and externalizing behaviors, yet neurobiological alterations related to interactions between violence exposure, anxiety, and externalizing problems remain largely unexplored. Using resting-state fMRI, we investigate whether violence exposure moderates relations between anxiety and externalizing behaviors with amygdala-periaqueductal gray functional connectivity.
