*Indicates a region that is exclusive to females or to males (within five voxels per x, y, z coordinate; exact coordinates in parentheses if different from original coordinate identified in females only/male only analyses).

Note: Combined height (P < 0.05 corrected) and cluster level (mm3 > 216) threshold for significance in whole-brain analyses. Combined height (P < 0.05 corrected) and cluster level (mm3 > 39) threshold for significance in ROI (amygdala) analyses (^ denotes ROI analysis).
