Facial emotion processing in patients with borderline personality disorder as compared with healthy controls: an fMRI and ECG study

Table 2 fMRI whole-brain results associated with negative facial expression processing as compared to scrambled pictures (contrast NgC minus NC) in all respondents. Results significant on the cluster level with FWE correction p < .05
