Amygdala–orbitofrontal resting-state functional connectivity is associated with trait anger

An important distinction in research on the neural mechanisms of emotion regulation involves the relatively limited duration of emotional states versus emotional traits that are defined as the stable tendency to experience particular emotions in daily life. Neuroimaging investigations of the regulation of anger states point to the involvement of reciprocal changes in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala activity, but the neural substrate of trait...
