Using the cross-sectional and test-retest study to explore the trait anxiety and intra-individual state anxiety.
Test-retest study distinguishs the stable inter-individual trait anxiety and the intra-individual state anxiety variability.
Inter-individual trait anxiety related to the intrinsic brain activity in the vmPFC and dACC/aMCC at both time-points.
Change of intrinsic brain activity of the right insula was correlated with the intra-individual state anxiety variability.
