a Latent variable voxel salience overlaid on the 2 mm MNI-average brain template. BSR bootstrap ratio tests of significance, L left hemisphere, R right hemisphere, z axial slice number. b–e Negative correlation between mean brain scores (a.u. = arbitrary units) and scores on the DERS. People with more difficulties in emotion regulation (higher DERS scores) showed greater engagement of the activation pattern (a) during the general neutral condition of the task (b) and reduced engagement of these regions during the specific negative condition (e).
