A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing manifestations of anxiety. The nurse should recognize which of the following statements about the neurophysiologic manifestations of anxiety as correct?

Rationale:A. The cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit (CSTC) is primarily associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and does not directly relate to phobias.B. While the CSTC circuit is involved in OCD, it is not specifically linked to the broader spectrum of fear responses.C. The amygdala-centered (ACC) circuit is involved in the processing of fear and panic, making it directly associated with feelings of panic, which are common manifestations of anxiety disorders.D. The amygdala does play a role in anxiety and apprehension, but it is more specifically tied to the acute panic responses.
