Neural response to fearful versus neutral faces. Activation differences (means±s.e.m.) between the functional magnetic resonance imaging response to fearful and neutral faces in the right FFA in adolescents with autism (n=40), unaffected siblings (n=40) and controls (n=40). Activation map indicates neural response to fearful versus neutral faces in controls, corrected for multiple comparisons at P<0.05 family-wise error corrected and overlaid onto the canonical Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) 152 template brain image (coronal section, y-coordinate indicated in Montreal Neurological Institute space), with the colored bar indicating the T-value of the plotted activation differences. Activation map overlaid onto a three-dimensional-rendered template brain within MRIcron. FFA, fusiform face area.
