Anxious brain networks: A coordinate-based activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis of resting-state functional connectivity studies in anxiety

•Anxiety can be characterized by consistently altered intrinsic connectivity between and/or within networks.•Hypo-connectivity of the affective network with executive control network and default mode network are associated with anxiety.•Anxiety is associated with consistently attenuated anti-correlations between the executive control network and default mode network.•The connectivity within the salience network as well as its connectivity with sensorimotor network is weakened in anxiety.
