Correlation between state anxiety scores and individual amygdala activation.

<p>Negative correlation between the individual state anxiety scores and the activity in right amygdala. Subjects with a high score on state anxiety had less amygdala signal change between the 1^st time and the 2^nd time presentation of the emotional faces. (A) Statistical parametric map (SPM) showing the right amygdala cluster. The image is thresholded at p<0.005, 25 voxels extent threshold, for illustrative reasons. The colors refer to t-values as coded in the bar to the right of the image (B) Scatter-plot demonstrating the negative correlation.
