Figure 2From: Reduced hippocampal and medial prefrontal gray matter mediate the association between reported childhood maltreatment and trait anxiety in adulthood and predict sensitivity to future life stressRelationships between mPFC gray matter volume, childhood maltreatment, and trait anxiety ( N = 818). (A) Statistical parametric map from frontal gyrus ROI analyses illustrating voxels exhibiting a significant negative correlation with CTQ total scores within the mPFC while controlling for age, gender, and recent life stress (LESS) (x = −3). (B) Scatterplot depicting mPFC gray matter volume from a 5-mm sphere surrounding max voxel (x = −3, y =57, z =16) as a function of CTQ total scores. (C) Trait anxiety plotted against mPFC gray matter volumes from 5-mm sphere. Scatterplots reflect partial correlations between variables after controlling for gender, age, and recent life stress (LESS). Y axes reflect standardized residuals.
