Fig. 5From: Alexithymia characteristics are associated with salience network activity in healthy participants: an arterial spin labeling studyCorrelation 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 cortexBack to article page
