Figure 6From: 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 stressThe relationship between recent life stress (LESS) and current anxiety symptoms (MASQ-AA). The relationship between recent life stress (LESS) and current anxiety symptoms (MASQ-AA) measured at least 1 year after initial assessment, plotted at low (−1 SD), intermediate (mean), and high (+1 SD) levels of mPFC gray matter volume. Scatterplots reflect partial correlations between LESS and STAI-T after controlling for gender, age, and time since MRI scan. MASQ-AA scores reflect standardized residuals.Back to article page
