Abstract
Evidence for implication of cholecystokinin (CCK) in the neurobiology of panic disorder is reviewed through animal and human pharmacological studies. The results of these investigations raise two issues: (i) selectivity of action of CCK-2 agonists in anxiety disorders; and (ii) aberrations of the CCK system in anxiety disorders, both of which are discussed.Keywords
