K Omura, RT Constable, T Canli - Neuroreport, 2005 - journals.lww.com
Using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and voxel-based morphometry in 41
healthy individuals, this study evaluated the association between the personality traits of
extraversion and neuroticism, on the one hand, and individual differences in localized brain
volume and gray matter concentration, on the other, with a special focus on the amygdala.
Extraversion was positively correlated with gray matter concentration in the left amygdala,
whereas neuroticism was negatively correlated with gray matter concentration in the right …
