For children's left
amygdala volume, including the income - to - needs ratio
at step 2 resulted in a significant increase in the amount of variance accounted for (change F1, 120 = 6.28, P =.01).
For right
amygdala volumes, the increase in variance accounted for after including the income - to - needs ratio
at step 2 only approached significance (change F1, 127 = 2.79, P =.09).
A recent fMRI study showed that the MAOA genotype
at risk for impulsivity and violent behavior is associated with reduced gray matter
volumes in limbic regions such as the
amygdala, dorsal anterior cingulated cortex (dACC), and subgenual ACC and greater
amygdala and subgenual ACC responsivity to negative emotional faces [25].
Specifically, we found that smaller hippocampus
volumes and greater responses to sad faces in emotion reactivity regions predict increased depressive symptoms
at the time of scan, whereas larger
amygdala volumes, smaller insula
volumes, and greater responses in emotion reactivity regions predict decreased emotion regulation skills.
