A Functional Polymorphism of the MAOA Gene Modulates Spontaneous Brain Activity in Pons

Table 2

Regions that showed significant differences in ALFF values between the high-activity and low-activity MAOA genotype groups in resting-state.

Abbreviations: ALFF= amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations; MAOA-H = high-activity MAOA genotype group; MAOA-L = low-activity MAOA genotype group; L= left; R= right; MNI= Montreal Neurological Institute.
