Amygdala and hypothalamus activations as a function of hormonal status grouping during fear conditioning. Significant functional activations of the amygdala (a) and the hypothalamus (b) during fear conditioning are displayed. The Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates are listed below each functional activation, along with the corresponding statistics (note that the reported p values are FWE corrected). The lower panel indicates the BOLD signal extracted from the corresponding cluster as a function of the different groups during conditioning for the amygdala (a) and the hypothalamus (b). FWE: family-wise error, M: men, HE: high estradiol women, LE: low estradiol women, OC: oral contraceptive users. Significant differences are noted (*p < 0.05 **p < 0.01)
