Montreal Neuroimaging Institute (MNI) coordinates for the peak probability of white matter connectivity with the amygdala for each PFC Brodmann’s Area (BA) in both the left and right hemispheres, mean maximum likelihood of amygdala white matter connectivity for each BA with the standard deviations in ( ), and results of the one-sample t-tests which compared the mean maximum likelihood of white matter connectivity for each amygdala-BA pair to zero.

Peak voxels were identified at the group level by averaging together all participants’ results from each probabilistic tractography seed-target pair (1 BA with the ipsilateral amygdala per hemisphere) and finding the maximum probability at the group-level. These peaks were used to create 6mm sphere masks for extracting maximum likelihood of white matter connectivity for each seed-target pair.
