The specific contribution of regional GM volumes in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (MNI coordinates, x = 17, y = 43, z = 33) to improved sadness recognition in psychopaths was explained by a negative association in this group (red) but a positive association in controls subjects (green).

Brain Structural Correlates of Emotion Recognition in Psychopaths - Fig 2

<p>(A) The specific contribution of regional GM volumes in the anterior insula, middle anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex and inferior frontal cortex (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0149807#pone.0149807.t003" target="_blank">Table 3</a>) to improved happiness recognition in psychopaths was explained by a negative association in this group (red) but a positive association in controls subjects (green). (B) Conversely, the specific contribution of regional GM volumes in the amygdalae (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0149807#pone.0149807.t003" target="_blank">Table 3</a>) to improved happiness recognition in control subjects was explained by a negative association in this group (green) but a positive association in psychopaths (red). The plot displays residual values once covariates were controlled for. Images are displayed in neurological convention, therefore the right hemisphere corresponds to the right side in axial and coronal displays. The sagittal display corresponds to the right hemisphere.</p
