Fig. 2. — Heightened amygdala and striatal reactivity to provocations in violent offenders. (A) “Amygdala reactivity” represents signal values extracted from left and right amygdala clusters significantly activated in response to provocations across all participants. Violent offenders show significantly higher amygdala reactivity to provocations (P = 0.02). (B) “Striatal Reactivity” represents signal values extracted from left and right striatal clusters significantly activated in response to provocations across all participants. Violent offenders show significantly higher amygdala reactivity to provocations (P = 0.02). Squares represent group mean and error bars represent standard deviations.
