Effective connectivity of face and fear processing in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Overall, we found initial evidence of alterations in the FFA-amygdala network in JME. Particularly, the right amygdala showed a greater inhibitory self-connection, which suggests a generally reduced sensitivity to external input and might affect social and emotional processing. This emphasizes further exploring the network structure, its behavioural implications, and connectivity with other regions in larger samples.
