Figure 1. Amygdala activation and emotional intensity ratings are lowered during both Reappraisal and Affect Label Tasks.

Figure 1

Panel A: Sample amygdala tracings from FSL FIRST. Voxels within these masks were used to calculate amygdala activation during each condition of the two tasks. Panel B: The figure legend displays sample stimuli from the Reappraisal Task. Bars represent means and standard errors for amygdala activation (parameter estimates in left and right amygdala combined), as well as emotional intensity ratings following image presentation (divided by 10 for display purposes). For both measures, values were lower during the “Decrease” than the “Look” condition of the task. Panel C: The figure legend displays sample stimuli from the Affect Label Task. Amygdala activation (parameter estimates in left and right amygdala combined) was lower during the affect labeling (“Label”) than the affect matching (“Match”) condition of the task.
