  1. Task-based PPI analyses revealed weaker functional connectivity of left/right-amygdala-seed with several brain regions on the contrast of angry > neutral faces and fearful > neutral faces in high group compared to group with low scores of GPT in Cohort 1. Resting-state functional connectivity analyses showed positive correlation between GPT and right-amygdala-seed FC with several regions but negative correlation between GPT and left-amygdala-seed FC with several brains in Cohort 2
