A research study compares brain activity in two groups of participants: one group with a diagnosed anxiety disorder and a control group with no disorder. Both groups are shown a series of images, some of which are emotionally neutral and others designed to elicit a fear response. Based on the known function of a key brain structure in processing fear, which of the following outcomes would be most expected?
