Correlations between brain activity during encoding of negative (vs neutral) pictures and emotional memory performance, expressed as sensitivity index d′ for negative pictures. (A) Following the stress manipulation, activity of the amygdala, insula and hippocampus positively correlated with memory performance in stressed AA/AG genotype carriers. (B) In the no-stress control condition, insula activity positively correlated with memory performance in GG genotype allele carriers. (C) Enhanced functional connecitivity of the hippocampus with the BLA during negative (vs neutral) picture encoding was associated with enhanced memory performance for negative pictures only in stressed AA/AG genotype carriers.
