Brain regions associated with between-subject differences in negative affect
| MNI coordinates |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region | Side | Extent | r | x | y | z |
| Regions associated with less negative affect | ||||||
| Medial frontal gyrus | Right | 127 | −0.60 | 15 | 49 | −7 |
| Medial frontal gyrus | Left | LM | −0.56 | −3 | 49 | −10 |
| Subgenual anterior cingulate cortex | Left | LM | −0.55 | −12 | 37 | −7 |
r-values represent correlation coefficients for the peak voxel identified in each cluster. These regions were identified through a robust correlation between the look negative > look neutral contrast and average self-reported negative affect on look negative vs look neutral trials. LM, local maxima. No brain regions were associated with more negative affect. None of the regions listed below fell within the emotion generation or regulation maps.
