Emotional processing during imagery of familiar faces.

<p>Axial views of BOLD activation maps obtained from whole brain GLM analysis using a contrast of imagery vs. rest in 13 healthy controls (left views, random FDR corrected, shown at lower threshold) and two VS patients. In healthy controls and in patient 3 the maps present activation in both the FFA and amygdala, while in patient 1 only in the amygdala is activated at the same threshold. Bold activity maps for patients were superimposed on each individual's anatomical image. HC – healthy controls; FFA- fusiform face area; BOLD – blood-oxygenation-dependent level.
