In my reading:

> Unfortunately the connection to (*the usual area = FPl, that's a L not an i) may be more easily saturated during high emotional states.

I do wonder if the FPl is overactive and needs to be slowed down like the article suggests (which hurts behavior in non-anxious people), or if the amygdala is jamming the FPl with excessive signalling (and needs to be slowed down).



Yeah, I was thinking about the treatment possibilities while reading. My wife has very high anxiety, which cannabis edibles mitigates pretty well, so I wonder if the pot is affecting those areas.
