      <image:title>More Information - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Excessive glutamate activity can lead to neuronal overactivation and excitotoxicity, contributing to anxiety and stress responses. Research into drugs that modulate glutamate receptors, such as NMDA receptor antagonists, is ongoing for potential anxiety treatments.</image:caption>

      <image:title>More Information - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Serotonin (5-HT) is involved in mood regulation, and its dysfunction is strongly linked to anxiety disorders. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which increase serotonin levels in the brain, are frequently prescribed for anxiety and depression. The precise mechanism through which serotonin modulates anxiety is complex, involving multiple receptor subtypes and brain regions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>More Information - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It reduces neuronal excitability by inhibiting nerve transmission, thus playing a critical role in maintaining a balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. Low levels of GABA are associated with heightened anxiety. Benzodiazepines, a class of drugs commonly used to treat anxiety, enhance GABA activity, thereby exerting a calming effect.</image:caption>

      <image:title>More Information - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dopamine is primarily known for its role in reward and pleasure pathways, but it also influences mood and anxiety. Dysregulation in dopaminergic pathways, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and limbic system, can contribute to anxiety. The relationship between dopamine and anxiety is complex and not as well understood as that of other neurotransmitters.</image:caption>

      <image:title>More Information - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Norepinephrine (NE) is associated with the body's "fight-or-flight" response. It heightens arousal and alertness, preparing the body to respond to stress. In individuals with anxiety disorders, there is often an overactivity of noradrenergic neurons, leading to increased NE levels. This can result in symptoms such as heightened vigilance, increased heart rate, and other physical manifestations of anxiety.</image:caption>
