Opposing patterns of response in rostral/ventral ACC and AMY for low arousing stimuli. Increased activity in rostral/ventral ACC (top sagittal image), and decreased activity in the amygdala (bottom coronal image) in older compared to young adults was identified using two-sample t-tests between activation maps for NegLo vs. NeuAll contrast in the two groups. The bar graphs on the right illustrate the parameter estimates corresponding to the peak voxels in the area of ACC and AMY showing increased activity to low arousing negative stimuli in the young and older groups. L, left; R, right; NegHi, Negative Hi Arousal; NegMed, Negative Medium Arousal; NegLo, Negative Low Arousal; NeuAll, Neutral All.
