(a) Amygdala activation during presentation of unpleasant compared with neutral stimuli. The statistical parametric map was overlaid on a template T1-weighted magnetic resonance image at P<0.01, corrected for family-wise error (FWE). MNI coordinates for the maximal t-score in the right and left amygdala are x=22, y=−6; z=−14 (cluster size: 139 voxels; t-score: 9.1) and x=−20; y=−8, z=−16 (cluster size: 100 voxels; t-score: 8.7), respectively. (b) Mean left and mean right amygdala response to unpleasant compared with neutral stimuli in the LL and SS/SL genotypes of triallelic 5-HTTLPR. The S genotype carriers had a higher left amygdala response (r=0.29, P=0.017) but not right amygdala response (r=0.16; P=0.129). Error bars indicate+1 standard error, N=54.
