In the AX group, processing negative emotional faces in the attachment secure priming condition (compared to neutral priming) was associated with significant deactivation (Alphasim corrected, p < 0.05) in the three clusters located in the right fusiform gyrus, right parahippocampal gyrus, and bilateral middle occipital and middle
temporal gyri (Table 3C and Figure 5).
