Visual search task performance: in trials with 16 images (‘size 16’), threat-related targets are detected more quickly than other targets. Both control groups and all patients show this pattern. The panels show the four experimental groups: healthy control participants (a), patients using anticonvulsive medication (b), patients with left amygdala resections (c) and patients with right amygdala resections (d). The y-axis displays mean response time on correct trials, in seconds. The varying size of the search image display is shown on the x-axis. The three experimental conditions are: neutral / neutral - neutral targets among neutral distractors; neutral / threat - neutral targets among threat-related distractors; threat / neutral - threat-related targets among neutral distractors. Error bars represent one standard error of the mean.
