Inflammation had a marginally significant effect on right-sided STS responses to viewing emotional facial expressions [ F (15,1) = 4.37, p = .055] with no significant influence on activity in any of the other face response regions reported in Table 1 .
Individuals who experienced the greatest deterioration in total mood after peripheral inflammation showed a highly significant reduction in the functional relationship between sACC and activity within anterior rostral medial prefrontal cortex (arMPFC), (Brodmann area [BA]32, BA10), MNI coordinates (10, 48, 8), nucleus accumbens ( Figures 3 B and 3 A, respectively), right amygdala, STS ( Figure 3 C), and FFAs.
