Fig. 3: To visually depict the temporal pattern of activity in the right (a) and left (b) amygdala between individuals displaying high versus low amygdalar response to neutral words, we used a median split of average amygdalar response during time periods that were significantly related to MASQ Anxious Arousal residual scores to divide “high” versus “low” amygdala responders.

We then plotted each group’s average % change in BOLD activity over time to visualize the time course of amygdalar responses to neutral words among individuals with high versus low amygdalar response to neutral words
