Fig. 5

Correlation between subscales of alexithymia and functional connectivity between the right insular cortex and right anterior cingulate cortex. The left shows the location of the region of interest (ROI) on a 3D brain map, and the right panel shows a scatter plot. A significant negative correlation was observed between the DDF score of TAS-20 and the functional connectivity between the right insula and the right anterior cingulate cortex. (r[40] = 0.42, p = 0.0094, FDR corrected). TAS-20 = The 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale; DDF = Difficulty Describing Feelings subscale; FDR = false discovery rate; ROI = region of interest; R.INS = right insula; R.ACC = right anterior cingulate cortex
