At the within-group level, both groups showed greater right amygdala activation to outgroup faces. Between groups, the black ethnicity group showed greater right amygdala activation to white faces, compared to the white ethnicity group. Within the black ethnicity group, individuals living in areas of lower own group ethnic density showed greater right amygdala reactivity to white faces (r = −0.61, p = 0.01).

Being a member of an ethnic minority group is one of the most well established environmental risk factors for schizophrenia (Cantor-graae et al. 2005; Bourque et al. 2011). Early research focused on the risk associated with migration (Ødegaard, 1932). It has subsequently become clear that this increased risk is not secondary to selective migration (Selten et al. 2002; van der Ven et al. 2015), and the effect persists among second-generation migrants, indicating that the risk is associated with being a member of a minority group, rather than the act of migration itself (Hutchinson et al. 1996; Bresnahan et al. 2007; Bourque et al. 2011). In various settings, the increased risk appears greatest for individuals of black ethnicity (C

The amygdala, a brain region primarily involved in processing emotions like fear and threat, shows heightened activity when people view faces of different races, particularly when the perceived face is of an "outgroup" compared to their own. This increased activity is often associated with negative evaluations of the "outgroup". However, the amygdala's role in race perception is complex and influenced by factors like cultural biases, individual experiences, and the specific social environment.
