a The block-wise beta of Faces>Shapes within the ROIs of controls and individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for the two drug conditions (placebo and citalopram) were extracted and here the means are plotted with standard error bars. b Using a regression approach to summarise the decrease in activations across time (i.e., habituation), absolute habituation indices were obtained and significant group × drug interaction effects on absolute habituation indices could be observed in all ROIs, including basolateral amygdala (BLA), centromedial amygdala (CMA), superficial amygdala (SFA), nucleus accumbens (NAc), subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC), ventral ACC (vACC), rostral ACC (rACC) and anterior ventromedial prefrontal cortex (avmPFC) (p corrected < 0.001). Significance for post-hoc analyses corrected for multiple comparisons is demonstrated with asterisks. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001.
