| Study | Amygdala (x, y, z) | Connectivity Seed (x, y, z) and target (x, y, z) |
|---|---|---|
| Gee et al. (2013) | (32, −1, −16) | Right amygdala (32, −1, −16) and right vmPFC (2, 32, 8) |
| Kujawa et al. (2016) | (−20, −2, −20), (24, −2, −22) | Left amygdala (AAL) and left dACC (−4, 30, 16) |

| Wu et al. (2016) | Left and right amygdala from AAL atlas | Left amygdala (AAL) and left ACC/mPFC (−6, 34, 16) |

aAAL, Automated anatomical labeling. While no age-related effects were revealed in amygdala activity in Kujawa et al. (2016) and Wu et al. (2016), we created amygdala ROI based on coordinates showing significant main effect of emotion category in Kujawa et al. (2016) or used amygdala AAL atlas, which was a seed region in connectivity analysis in Wu et al. (2016), to examine age-related effects of amygdala activity in our PNC cohort.
