Relationship between neonatal amygdala functional connectivity and social-emotional outcomes in preterm children. Results from whole-brain analysis investigating the relationship between neonatal functional connectivity of left amygdala and internalizing scores on the Infant Toddler Social Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) tool at age 2 years, corrected. Images demonstrate higher total internalizing domain scores were positively correlated with functional connectivity measures between the left amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex, right anterior insula, and superior frontal cortex. Results thresholded using |z| > 2.25 and 53 contiguous voxels achieving whole-brain false-positive rate of 0.05. Adapted with permission from Rogers CE, et al. JAACAP. 2017; 56(2):157–166
