(A) Unlike left MTL patients, right MTL patients had significant increased activity in the left STG for angry (an + na) trials compared with neutral (nn) trials (general, Upper), as well as for an (Middle) and na (Lower) trials taken separately. These emotional increases were located in the voice-sensitive cortex (tva, blue outline; Fig. 2). (B) Direct comparison between left and right MTL patients revealed significantly increased activity in the left pSTG for all angry trials (general), in the left mSTG for an trials, and in the right TTG for na trials. The white outline indicates the maximal lesion extension in the right hemisphere. (C) Mean beta estimates extracted from the healthy amygdala (Amy) in native space revealed no modulation by the task conditions on the right side for left MTL patients but significant increases (indicated by the asterisks) on the left side for right MTL patients, with higher responses to both an and na trials compared with nn trials.
