Mediation pathway by which age is related to lasting effects of reappraisal on amygdala response. Age predicted recruitment of right rostrolateral prefrontal cortex (RLPFC) for previously reappraised stimuli (Regulation/negative > Reactivity/negative contrast value) during re-presentation. RLPFC recruitment mediated the relationship between age and amygdala decreases (Reactivity/negative > Regulation/negative contrast value) during re-presentation. Beta coefficients are shown for each path with standard error displayed in parentheses. n.s.p>.05, *p<.05, **p<.01, ***p<.001
