Time-related activity evoked by fearful and neutral distractors (early vs. late contrasts). During the salience condition, stronger responses to fearful (A) and neutral distractors (B) were observed in both the right amygdala (left) and the bilateral fusiform gyrus (right) during early trials. During the attentional load condition, weaker responses to fearful distractors were observed in both the amygdala and the fusiform gyrus (C) during early trials; weaker responses to neutral distractors were observed in the right fusiform gyrus during early trials (D).
