Fig. 2: Neural correlates of emotion regulation.
From: Neural correlates of emotional reactivity and regulation in traumatized North Korean refugees
a Left lateral prefrontal cortical (LPFC) activation during emotion suppression (vs. looking at negative pictures) resulted from the small volume correction (SVC) analysis limited to anatomically defined prefrontal ROI masks between NK refugees and SK controls (cluster-defining threshold, p < 0.001; cluster size >25 voxels to achieve a SVC corrected p < 0.05) (*p < 0.05). b Increased functional connectivity (1) between right amygdala (seed) and left LPFC (center coordinate: x = 18, y = 36, z = 52) and (2) between right hippocampus (seed) and MPFC (center coordinate: x = 10, y = 44, z = 48) during emotion suppression (vs. looking at negative pictures) in NK refugees compared to SK controls (FWE corrected threshold of p < 0.05). ROI region of interest, NK North Korean, SK South Korean, gPPI generalized psychophysiological interaction.
