Results of whole brain voxel correlation analysis showing relationship between stress state cort: ACTH ratio and stress state VmPFC activation. The cortisol to adrenocorticotropic hormone (cort:ACTH) ratio in response to stress cues during a laboratory session was significantly associated with neural hyperactivation in the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (VmPFC) in response to stress cues during a separate fMRI session, r (39) = −0.32, p<0.001.
