Significant (p <.005 uncorrected) clusters resulting from a voxelwise correlation between brain activity and log duration of freezing behavior controlling for age in the NEC and ALN conditions. All clusters larger than 8 mm3 are included. (Posterior regions of the brain were excluded as described in the Methods and Materials.) Anatomical definitions of the clusters were made based on the rhesus monkey atlas (Paxinos et al 2000). Data presented include the size of the cluster (mm3), the maximum t-value within the cluster, and the corresponding x (left to right), y (posterior to anterior) and z (inferior to superior) coordinates in mm relative to the center of the anterior commissure. The clusters are presented in descending order based on their size. ALN, alone group; NEC, no eye contact group; BNST, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; NAC, nucleus accumbens; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; ROI, regions of interest.
