Research led by @dornsife.usc.edu Professor Emilio Valadez shows how combining two types of brain scans significantly improved predictions of future anxiety in teens.
=> One day we may use brain imaging to help teens most at risk for anxiety disorders

2 brain scans are better than 1 in predicting teen anxiety
Combined brain imaging methods helps forecast which adolescents are most at risk for anxiety disorders well before symptoms appear
