Amygdala responses for each subject were extracted using regions of interest that were either defined anatomically (in the primary analysis) or defined using the between-group comparison (family history of depression vs. no family history of depression) voxelwise maps generated using 3 different thresholds (p = .05, p = .01, and p = .001). Significant correlations with resilience levels (measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) in the family history–positive group [n = 27]) are observed regardless of the type of amygdala region of interest used to extract the functional magnetic resonance imaging data.
