Within the MTL mask, we found a similar pattern for Negative scenes, participants’ brain scores for the first LV correlated positively with affect suppression score (r = 0.59, p < 0.05, [0.38, 0.79] bootstrapped 95% CI) and negatively with intrusion proportion (r = ?0.55, p < 0.05, [?0.78, ?0.28] bootstrapped 95% CI), whereas for Neutral scenes, brain scores only correlated with intrusion proportion (r = ?0. 40, p < 0.05, [?0.66, ?0.02] bootstrapped 95% CI) but not with affect suppression (r = 0.24, [?0.12, 0.64] bootstrapped 95% CI; Fig. 6A). Given that most voxels had a reliably negative salience within the MTL mask (located mainly in the bilateral anterior hippocampus and amygdala; Fig. 6A, Table 4), the foregoing pattern means that, during the suppression of intrusive scenes, downregulating activation in these voxels was associated with decreased intrusion frequency for Negative and Neutral scenes and greater affect suppression scores (but only for Negative scenes; for an illustration of this pattern, see Fig. 6B). No voxels within the MTL were associated with a significant positive salience (i.e., the opposite pattern).
Outcome of the behavioral PLS analysis for both Negative and Neutral scenes conducted within the MTL, including bilateral amygdala, hippocampus, and parahippocampal cortex. (more…)
