TE1 = 35 ms, TE2 = 70 ms; flip angle, 90°).This sequence has considerably reduced susceptibility dropout in lateral and medial prefrontal, amygdala, and medial temporal regions. The first four image volumes were discarded from analyses to account for presaturation effects. BOLD images were reconstructed by weighting the echoes according to the expected signal levels under T2* decay, such that the first echo was weighted twice as much as the second echo.
