10711292562Positron Emission Tomography (PET)Monkeys with an anxious temperament have brains that use more glucose in regions related to fear memory and expectation of reward and punishment11
10711292563magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)People with history of violence tend to have smaller frontal lives especially in regions that aid moral judgment and self control12
10711292564functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)Years after surviving a near plan crash passengers who viewed material related to their trauma showed greater activation in the brains fear and memory and visual centers than when they watched footage related to 9/11 terrorist attacks13
