“…In general, most of the available studies found greater response of the amygdala to threat-related facial expressions in SAD individuals compared to HC (Blair et al, 2011(Blair et al, , 2008Cooney, Atlas, Joormann, Eugène, & Gotlib, 2006;Evans et al, 2008;Gentili et al, 2008;Klumpp, Angstadt, & Phan, 2012;Klumpp, Angstadt, Nathan, & Phan, 2010;Phan, Fitzgerald, Nathan, & Tancer, 2006;Stein, Goldin, Sareen, Zorrilla, & Brown, 2002;Straube, Kolassa, Glauer, Mentzel, & Miltner, 2004;Straube, Mentzel, & Miltner, 2005;Yoon, Fitzgerald, Angstadt, McCarron, & Phan, 2007); but see (Goldin, Manber, Hakimi, Canli, & Gross, 2009;Ziv, Goldin, Jazaieri, Hahn, & Gross, 2013). However, other paralimbic regions such as the insula and the parahippocampal gyrus also appeared to exhibit greater activation in SAD subjects (Amir et al, 2005;Blair et al, 2008Blair et al, , 2011Evans et al, 2008;Gentili et al, 2008;Goldin et al, 2009;Klumpp et al, 2010Klumpp et al, , 2012Klumpp, Post, Angstadt, Fitzgerald, & Phan, 2013;Phan et al, 2006;Yoon et al, 2007).…”
