TL;DR: This work aimed to clarify the power problem by considering and contrasting two simulated scenarios of such possible brain-behavior correlations: weak diffuse effects and strong localized effects.

TL;DR: The results suggest that high neurotic participants display stronger self-referential processing in response to negative emotional faces, and the negative correlation between amygdala-ACC connectivity and neuroticism scores might indicate that those high in neuroticism display diminished control function of the ACC over the amygdala.

TL;DR: The present results indicate that the reduced likelihood of developing affective disorders in individuals high on extraversion is related to modulation of emotion processing through the orbitofrontal cortex and the amygdala.

TL;DR: Predicting a valence-specific effect: increased striatal activity for punishment avoidance compared to obtaining a reward in Social Anxiety Disorder suggests that the usual motivational preference for social reward is absent in SAD.

TL;DR: Amygdala hypoactivation suggests reduced responsiveness to positive and negative emotional faces in PD and Symptom severity, but not the presence of PD and SP diagnosis per se, explains most of the abnormalities in amygdala-mPFC connectivity during perception of fearful faces.
