Background: Although the amygdala is thought to be a crucial brain region for negative
affect, neuroimaging studies do not always show enhanced amygdala response to aversive …

BACKGROUND: Associations between a functional polymorphism in the serotonin
transporter gene and amygdala activation have been found in healthy, depressed, and …

A functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the human serotonin transporter (5-
HTT) gene has been related to negative affect and amygdala activity. We studied amygdala …

Previous research has found that a common polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene
(5-HTTLPR) is an important mediator of individual differences in brain responses associated …

Amygdala and insula hyper-reactivity to threat is implicated in social anxiety disorder (SAD)
yet inconsistencies in activation have been reported. One source of variance are individual …

This study assessed the impact of serotonin transporter genotype (5-HTTLPR) on regional
responses to emotional faces in the amygdala and subgenual cingulate cortex (sgACC) …

Individuals carrying the short allele of a common polymorphism in the promoter region of the
serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) exhibit heightened amygdala responses to passive …

The serotonin transporter-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) polymorphism of the serotonin
transporter gene is associated with amygdala response during negative emotion. The aim of …

A functional polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) has been reported
to modulate amygdala responsiveness to negative environmental cues. However, it remains …

Background Cross‐sectional studies report biased reactivity to facial expressions among
shy children, anxious adolescents, and adults with social anxiety disorder (SAD). It remains …
