“…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). Increased activation of limbic/paralimbic regions was the most replicated finding, and has been observed independently of task design (implicit (Blair et al, 2008(Blair et al, , 2011Gentili et al, 2008;Stein et al, 2002), explicit (Amir et al, 2005;Cooney et al, 2006;Klumpp et al, 2010Klumpp et al, , 2012Phan et al, 2006;Yoon et al, 2007), or combined (Klumpp et al, 2013;Straube et al, 2004) paradigms) at different levels of emotion intensity (Klumpp et al, 2010;Yoon et al, 2007), and even when simple-drawing schematic faces are presented (Evans et al, 2008). Using an event-related design, Klumpp et al (2010) found that SAD patients showed increased amygdala activation at both high and moderate threat intensities in comparison to matched controls.…”
