Figure 2. Co-variation of Functional Connectivity with Trait Anger.

Figure 2

(a) Trait Anger showed strong inverse association with the strength of RSFC between right amygdala and contralateral middle orbital-frontal cortex. All voxels with a correlation coefficient R > 0.6 and cluster size > 30 voxels (equivalent to p = 0.001, uncorrected) [11] were considered to be significantly associated with the circuitry responsible for anger trait regulation. (b) Trait Anger showed strong inverse association with the functional connectivity strength between right amygdala and left middle orbital-frontal cortex (closed circles), and Anger Control-Out (AC_Out, open circles) showed strong positive correlation (in red) to the strength of RSFC between right amygdala and contralateral middle orbital-frontal cortex. The correlation coefficients depicted in (b) were calculated from the cluster in the orbital-frontal cortex shown in (a).
