Fig. 8. Social Anxiety is Differentially Associated with Amygdala-STS Connectivity during Vigilant and Avoidant Orientation to Threat.

Fig. 8.

Based on Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) scores (Liebowitz, 1987), social anxiety symptoms were associated with neural connectivity between the right amygdala and posterior aspect of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) during orientation of attention to threat (p = 0.01). Less amygdala-STS connectivity during avoidant orientation was associated with greater social anxiety severity (r(49) = −0.27, p = 0.056, dotted red line), whereas amygdala-STS connectivity during vigilant orientation was not associated with social anxiety severity (r(49) = 0.05, p = 0.75, solid red line). * = p < 0.05.
