Citation Stress task Analysis Seed Region Stressor-evoked changes
Admon et al. 2009 Backward masked photographs, prior to and following military service Seed-based Hippocampus ↑Psychological stress, ↓vmPFC connectivity
Akdeniz et al. 2014 Mental arithmetic and mental rotation Seed-based pgACC ↑Perceived discrimination, ↑ connectivity with dACC
Fan et al. 2015 Montreal Imaging Stress Task Seed-based Amygdala ↑Connectivity with mPFC, posterior cingulate cortex, anterior insula, putamen, caudate, thalamus
Gianaros et al. 2012 Multisource Interference Task Seed-based Insula ↑Connectivity with ACC, amygdala, pons, midbrain PAG
Liston et al. 2009 Attention-shifting task following 1 month of chronic psychosocial stress Seed-based Left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ↓Connectivity with contralateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ventral prefrontal cortex, putamen, anterior and posterior cingulate, premotor, posterior parietal, and fusiform cortex, and cerebellum; ↑Connectivity with middle temporal lobe
Maron-Katz et al. 2016 Serial subtraction task Network-based N/A (or many) ↑Thalamo-cortical connectivity, ↓parietal-temporal connectivity
McMenamin et al. 2014 Aversive shock Network-based; graph theory N/A (or many) Initial ↑ in ventral-attention network efficiency, encompassing ACC, insula, followed by ↓connectivity in ventral-attention network
Sinha et al. 2016 Aversive pictures Seed-based vmPFC ↑Connectivity with left anterior prefrontal cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and inferior parietal lobe
Van Marle et al. 2010 Immediately following aversive movie Seed-based Amygdala ↑Connectivity with dACC, anterior insula, dorso-rostral pontine
Veer et al. 2011 Immediately following Trier Social Stress Task Seed-based Amygdala ↑Connectivity with the posterior cingulate cortex, and vmPFC
