Individual differences in activation. Activity for cI neutral face trials, HE task was negatively correlated with trait anxiety in two regions: right middle temporal gyrus and a left lateralized cluster that spans inferior frontal gyrus/ BA 47, lateral OFC and the anterior insula.
(contrast: cI neutral face, HE task – baseline). Results are displayed at p < .005, with a cluster extent threshold that corrects for multiple comparisons (p<.05) (see methods). HE = high expectancy task; cI = incongruent trial preceded by congruent trial; BA = brodmann area; OFC = orbitofrontal cortex. Colorbar indicates Z-statistic.
