Popis: Introduction Panic disorder (PD) and agoraphobia (AG) are highly comorbid anxiety disorders with an increasing prevalence that have a significant clinical and public health impact but are not adequately recognized and treated. Although the current functional neuroimaging literature has documented a range of neural abnormalities in these disorders, primary studies are often not sufficiently powered and their findings have been inconsistent. Objectives This meta-analysis aims to advance our understanding of the neural underpinnings of PD and AG by identifying the most robust patterns of differential neural activation that differentiate individuals diagnosed with one of or both these disorders from age-matched healthy controls. Methods We conducted a comprehensive literature search in the PubMed database for all peer-reviewed, whole-brain, task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activation studies that compared adults diagnosed with PD and/or AG with age-matched healthy controls. Each of these articles was screened by two independent coding teams using formal inclusion criteria and according to current PRISMA guidelines. We then performed a voxelwise, whole-brain, meta-analytic comparison of PD/AG participants with age-matched healthy controls using multilevel kernel density analysis (MKDA) with ensemble thresholding (p
