Results of a hierarchical linear regression used to determine the unique and shared variance in anxious temperament accounted for by the mean 5-HTT availability and FDG metabolism within each cluster. The FDG values were taken from the NEC component of the behavioral paradigm, and therefore represent glucose metabolism in response to a potential threat.
