Lower perceived parental social standing predicted greater amygdala reactivity to angry faces in a functional neuroimaging study of young adults. (A) Social ladders used to assess perceived parental social standing. (B) Statistical parametric maps projected onto an anatomical template. The maps profile amygdala areas where lower perceived parental social standing predicted greater reactivity to angry faces. (C) Plots depicting standardized perceived parental social standing scores (x-axis) and mean-centered, standardized reactivity values derived from left (L, open circles, dashed line) and right (R, closed circles, solid line) amygdala areas in B. Inset in C illustrates exemplar trial of angry faces used to elicit amygdala reactivity. From Gianaros et al. (2008), reprinted with permission.
