“…The concept of temperament is also supported by animal researchon he one hand by showing that basic human behavioral traits can also be present in primates 83 and on the other hand by the findings of structural and functional differences in the CNS in relationship to temperament in children [84][85][86][87] . Work about temperament in dogs also indicates a shared four-dimensional structure in humans and dogs corresponding to Cloninger's description 88 .…”

Bipolar disorder constitutes a challenge for clinicians in everyday clinical practice. Our knowledge concerning this clinical entity is incomplete and contemporary classification systems are unable to reflect the complexity of this disorder.. The concept of temperament which for the first time was described during antiquity constitutes a reasonable vehicle to synthesize our knowledge on how the human body works and what determines human behavior. Although it originally included philosophical and sociocultural approaches, today the biomedical model is dominant. It is possible that specific temperaments might constitute vulnerability factors, determine the clinical picture or constitute illness course modifiers and even act as a bridge between genes and clinical manifestations, thus giving birth to the concept of the bipolar spectrum with major implications for all aspects of mental health research and providing of care. More specifically it has been reported that the hyperthymic and the depressive temperaments are related to the more 'classic' bipolar disorder, while cyclothymic, anxious and irritable temperaments are related to more complex manifestations and might predict poor response to treatment, violent or suicidal behavior and high comorbidity. It seems reasonable to assume that the incorporating of the concept of temperament and the bipolar spectrum in the standard training of psychiatric residents might result in an improvement of everyday clinical practice.3

“…Notably, ERP studies have shown that brainstem (wave V) responses to simple auditory stimulation are increased in patients with panic disorder (Knott et al, 1994) and children with high dispositional anxiety (Woodward et al, 2001). These findings suggest that anxiety boosts auditory signaling very early (~10 ms) in the afferent pathway at the relatively primitive level of the inferior colliculus.…”

Anxiety disorders constitute a sizeable worldwide health burden with profound social and economic consequences. The symptoms are wide-ranging; from hyperarousal to difficulties with concentrating. This latter effect falls under the broad category of altered cognitive performance which is the focus of this review. Specifically, we examine the interaction between anxiety and cognition focusing on the translational threat of unpredictable shock paradigm; a method previously used to characterize emotional responses and defensive mechanisms that is now emerging as valuable tool for examining the interaction between anxiety and cognition. In particular, we compare the impact of threat of shock on cognition in humans to that of pathological anxiety disorders. We highlight that both threat of shock and anxiety disorders promote mechanisms associated with harm avoidance across multiple levels of cognition (from perception to attention to learning and executive function)—a “hot” cognitive function which can be both adaptive and maladaptive depending upon the circumstances. This mechanism comes at a cost to other functions such as working memory, but leaves some functions, such as planning, unperturbed. We also highlight a number of cognitive effects that differ across anxiety disorders and threat of shock. These discrepant effects are largely seen in “cold” cognitive functions involving control mechanisms and may reveal boundaries between adaptive (e.g., response to threat) and maladaptive (e.g., pathological) anxiety. We conclude by raising a number of unresolved questions regarding the role of anxiety in cognition that may provide fruitful avenues for future research.
