Figure 4. Sex differences in emotional conflict-related brain activity controlling for pubertal stage.

Figure 4

(A) The effects of sex on emotional conflict-related brain response indicate greater emotional conflict-related brain response in males than females in cuneus, precuneus, inferior parietal lobule, fusiform gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, and middle occipital gyrus (voxel/clusterwise corrected, p/α < 0.01/0.05, minimum cluster size: 20 voxels). Blood oxygen level-dependent activity maps are surface mapped onto the Population-Average, Landmark-, and Surface-based (PALS-B12) atlas in Talairach space (Van Essen et al., 2001). FG = fusiform gyrus, IFG = inferior frontal gyrus, IPL = inferior parietal lobule, MOG = middle occipital gyrus.

(B) Bar graphs illustrate percent signal change in the blood oxygen level-dependent response for male and female youth. Incongruent vs. Congruent contrasts and each trial type against baseline brain response are plotted. IFG = inferior frontal gyrus, IPL = infrerior parietal lobule, MOG = middle occipital gyrus.
