The purpose of this K23 application is to support my short-term career objectives of acquiring multimodalneuroimaging, neurocomputational, biostatistical, and theoretical social cognitive knowledge in the study ofanxiety and emotion regulation in youth at high-risk for bipolar disorder (BD). Longitudinal evidence suggeststhat youth at high-risk for BD that develop any mood disorder experience an anxiety disorder as an earlyantecedent. Anxiety is therefore an important symptom in the developmental trajectory of BD.
