Sex-specific correlation between emotion regulation ability and regional gray matter volume.

<p>A: The right DLPFC, where the interaction between sex and emotion regulation ability was found, is rendered in the e Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space. B: The anatomical cluster that extends from the left brainstem to the left hippocampus, the left amygdala and the insular cortex, where the interaction between sex and emotion regulation ability was found, is rendered in the MNI space. C: Scatter plots depicting correlations between rGMV of the right DLPFC <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0097071#pone.0097071-Killgore1" target="_blank">[20]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0097071#pone.0097071-Koechlin1" target="_blank">[28]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0097071#pone.0097071-Ortigue1" target="_blank">[60]</a> and individual variability in emotion regulation ability in males (N = 133, r = 0.30, p<0.001) and females (N = 159, r = −0.08, p>0.05). D: Scatter plots depicting correlations between rGMV of the anatomical cluster that extends from the left brainstem to the left hippocampus, the left amygdala and the insular cortex [0, −14, −10] and individual variability in emotion regulation ability in males (N = 133, r = 0.20, p<0.05) and females (N = 159, r = −0.11, p>0.05).
