The Neural Basis of Fear Promotes Anger and Sadness Counteracts Anger

Figure 4

Neuroimaging results showing brain activation associated with fear induction (i.e., watching movies). The activation of the PHG_R, PCC_R, and precuneus_R result was taken from the conjunction analysis of “fear > neutral” and “fear > sadness” (depicted at threshold of ), the activation of AI_R1 was taken from the contrast of “fear > sadness” (depicted at threshold of ), and the activation of AI_R2 and AI_L was taken from the contrast of “fear > neutral” (depicted at ). The graphs show the mean percent signal changes for the PHG_R, PCC_R, precuneus_R, AI_R1, AI_R2, and AI_L across the three experimental conditions.
