A, Experimental design. B, Activations and deactivations of the two-back task and eye movements compared with fixation. The threshold for significance for the amygdala (whole-brain threshold p < 0.005 uncorrected and peak voxel FWE-SVC p < 0.05) is applied to the whole brain to show the specificity of the effect. Whole-brain corrected inferential statistics are reported in Table 1. C, PPI cluster with the left and right amygdala as a seed for the two-back task and eye movements compared with fixation. Images are thresholded at p < 0.05, whole-brain FWE-corrected. Whole-brain corrected inferential statistics are reported in Table 2. D, Deactivation during the two-back blocks and eye-movement blocks (in green) overlaid onto the average T1 scan from all participants. In red is the anatomical location of the amygdala. It can be seen that the deactivation (overlap is in yellow) is located toward the dorsal part in both tasks. EM, Eye movements.
