CT/CBT and neuroscience
I received the following suggestions from Greg Siegle that look at
neuroscience as it applies to clinical psychology of depression and
anxiety:
*Overall models of relevant circuitry:*

plasticity, context, and regulation: perspectives from affective
neuroscience. Psychological Bulletin, 2000. 126(6): p. 890-909.

Implications for major psychiatric disorders. Biol Psychiatry, 2003.

model of voluntary and automatic emotion regulation: implications
for understanding the pathophysiology and neurodevelopment of
bipolar disorder. Mol Psychiatry, 2008. 13(9): p. 829, 833-57.
*Applying neuroscience to treatment: Conventional treatments:*

versus medication for depression: treatment outcomes and neural
mechanisms. Nat Rev Neurosci, 2008. 9(10): p. 788-96.

In addition, there was a great article by Goldapple et al. written
several years ago on neurological modulation with CBT for depression:
Goldapple, K., Segal, Z., Garson, C., Lau, M., Bieling, P., Kennedy,
S. & Mayberg, H. (2004). Modulation of cortical-limbic pathways in
major depression: Treatment-specific effects of cognitive behavior
therapy. /Archives of General Psychiatry, 61/, 34-41.
A recent article in /Psychological Science/ also discusses neural
mechanisms involved in emotion generation, one of many articles that
shows the impact of distancing and reappraisal on brain physiology
(particularly regarding processes of the prefrontal lobe and amygdala):
Ochsner, K. N., Ray, R. R., Hughes, B. L., McRae, K., Cooper, J. C.,
Webet, J., et al. (2009). Bottom-up and top-down processes in
emotion generation: Common and distinct neural mechanisms.
/Psychological Science, 20/(11), 1322-1331.
In regards to anxiety, there is currently a great article in press by
Browning, et al. and Philippe Goldin has also done research in the area:
Browning, M., Holmes, E.A., Murphy, S.E., Goodwin, G.M., & Harmer,
C.L. (in press). Lateral prefrontal cortex mediates the cognitive
modification of attentional bias. /Biological Psychiatry/.
Goldin, P. R., McRae, K., Ramel, W., & Gross, J. J. (2008). The
neural bases of emotion regulation: Reappraisal and suppression of
negative emotion. /Biological Psychiatry, 63/, 577-586.
Lastly, if your students are interested in neurophysiological aspects of
the cognitive model for depression, I published an article on this topic
in the /American Journal of Psychiatry/:
Beck, A. T. (2008). The evolution of the cognitive model of
depression and its neurobiological correlates. /American Journal of
Psychiatry, 165/, 969-977.

disorders: Empirical and methodological review.
