Fig. 1

Children with increased methylation of OXTR display reduced right amygdala-mPFC functional connectivity. A Z statistic map of voxels shows the significant main effect of age group (Children > Adults) in MNI space. The right amygdala seed region is depicted in gray. B Mean Z statistic values are plotted for each individual in the child cohort (n = 57) and adult (n = 23) cohort. ***P < 0.001. C Z statistic map of voxels shows the significant negative main effect of OXTRm depicted in MNI space. The right amygdala seed region is depicted in gray. D Mean Z statistic values are plotted against percent OXTRm for each participant (n = 57). Gray shading indicates 95% confidence interval around the best-fit line. E Mean Z statistic values are plotted against parent-reported self-control scores for each participant (n = 50). Gray shading indicates 95% confidence interval around the best-fit line.
