Despite the distinct correlation with the IL-6 diurnal index (r = 0.30, p = 0.002) as observed in the whole-brain analysis, the left BLA activity was uncorrelated with BDI-II depressive symptoms (r = 0.04, p = 0.67), although it had a relative correlation with HSCL anxiety symptoms (r = 0.20, p = 0.04). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and Anxiety.
