Figure 3From: Serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms and brain function during emotional distraction from cognitive processing in posttraumatic stress disorder SLC6A4 (rs16965628) modulated the ventrolateral PFC in PTSD. (a) mean activation level in the ventrolateral PFC ROI for combat vs. non-combat distractors presented during the working memory delay period was differentially modulated by rs16965628 in the PTSD group as compared to the trauma-exposed control group. (b) mean activation in the left amygdala ROI for combat vs. non-combat distractors presented during the working memory delay period was differentially modulated by 5-HTTLPR (S allele carrier, LL) in the PTSD group as compared to the trauma-exposed control group.Back to article page
