medium

Delayed emotional baseline shift

Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)

Legacy status: THEORETICAL

Technique Details

QIF-C.IM
Status
THEORETICAL
Bands
N6

Therapeutic Application

Gradual modulation of amygdala-prefrontal connectivity to shift emotional baseline toward persistent dysthymia or anxiety without acute detectable events

Clinical Analog

Neurofeedback training for emotional regulation

Treats

  • generalized anxiety disorder
  • dysthymia
  • emotional dysregulation in BPD
  • PTSD

DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings

Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.

F34.1 Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) F41.1 Generalized Anxiety Disorder F32.0 Major Depressive Episode, Mild

Pathway: N4 (amygdala) → N5 (PFC connectivity) → N6 (default mode network) — slow emotional baseline drift

Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.
