From: Violence: heightened brain attentional network response is selectively muted in Down syndrome

Fig. 6

Brain activation in Down syndrome is specifically weaker as stimuli are more threatening. a Bar graph shows number of activated voxels for p < 0.001, uncorrected threshold, with error bars showing standard error of the mean across subjects. P values for two-tailed t test between groups are listed for each contrast below the labels. b As relative threat increases from seeing the protagonist to seeing the antagonist to seeing actual violent acts, the relative brain activation in individuals with Down syndrome compared to controls becomes smaller. For all three tasks, activated clusters are predominantly located in association cortex attentional regions
