The human brain is a network of interconnected regions, both on an anatomical and functional level. Although the brain´s intrinsic functional architecture provides a crucial basis for our behavior, it is still incompletely characterized. Using a multi-methodological approach across three studies, the work presented in this thesis aimed to explore and characterize different aspects of the brain´s intrinsic functional architecture, as measured with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Specifically, study 1 investigated the relationship between amygdala resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) within the face processing circuit and the personality dimension of neuroticism, as well as how the 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 poly...
