BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has been linked to increased stress responsiveness and negative emotional states.

We aimed to test the hypothesis that the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism differentially affects connectivity within brain networks during...
