Associations between cortisol and regions of activation during emotion processing in NMD versus HC subjects
Panel A: Pre-scan cortisol is associated with attenuated engagement of the left anterior cingulate in NMD but not HC subjects for Faces-Animals contrast.
Panel B: Pre-scan cortisol is associated with attenuated engagement of the left insula in NMD but not HC subjects for Fear-Neutral contrast.
Panel C: Pre-scan cortisol is associated with attenuated engagement of the right putamen in NMD but not HC subjects for Fear-Neutral contrast.
Panel D: Pre-scan cortisol is associated with attenuated engagement of the left medial frontal gyrus in NMD but not HC subjects for Anger-Neutral contrast.
