  1. Main genotype effect of rs2910931 and genotype × CS interaction effects on brain activation patterns during fear acquisition and extinction are given as cluster peak voxels. Risk group status was defined as carrying at least one minor (T)-allele. During the acquisition, only CS+ trials that were not paired with the US were used for analyses
  2. L left, R right, voxel number of voxels per cluster, x, y, z MNI coordinates, dev deviation (in mm) from the identified anatomical structure using anatomic automatic labeling (aal). CS+ conditioned stimulus followed by the unconditioned stimulus (US) in 50% of trials during acquisition, CS− conditioned stimulus never followed by the US
  3. aUncorrected p values of whole-brain results with a minimum cluster size of 142 contiguous voxels are given, indicating p < 0.05 upon correction for multiple comparisons
  4. bSmall volume correction using aal masks (FWE correction at p < 0.05) with a cluster forming threshold of p < 0.001 was applied
