Fig. 2: Amygdala connectivity shows differential associations with PTSD symptom development across different races/ethnicities.

From: Structural inequities contribute to racial/ethnic differences in neurophysiological tone, but not threat reactivity, after trauma exposure

Fig. 2

Racial/ethnic group moderated the relationship between amygdala connectivity to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), right dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), and left cerebellum. Hispanic individuals (blue) showed negative relationships between connectivity and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms at 3-months, White individuals (orange) showed an orthogonal relationship, and Black individuals (green) showed a positive relationship. Dots represent individual data points, and the solid lines represent the linear lines of best fit. Shaded areas represent the 95% confidence interval of the linear line of best fit.
