Figure 1. SNP-based estimates of heritability in the brain response to ambiguous faces.

Figure 1

(Left) Locations of the 25 functional Regions of Interest (ROI) defined for the Dynamic Ambiguous Face vs. Control contrast [13] . (Right) Proportion of variance in mean percent BOLD signal change (%BCS) explained by common genetic variance for each ROI when viewing facial expressions in 1,620 unrelated adolescents. Error bars indicate the standard Error of the estimate. Stars indicate those estimates significant at an alpha 0.05 (uncorrected). Vertical gridlines are at intervals of 0.2. Abbreviations: Mid-ventrolateral frontal cortex (MVLFC); Mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex (MDLFC); premotor cortex (PMC), pre supplementary motor area (PreSMA); superior temporal sulcus (STS); fusiform face area (FFA); lateral occipital cortex (LOC); left (L); right (R). SNP, single nucleotide polymorphisms.
