FIG. 4.

The static rs-FC analysis revealed an increased functional connectivity in the choking group compared with the choking-naïve group between the bilateral angular gyrus (A,B) and various parts of the brain, such as the post-central gyrus and lingual gyrus. The dynamic rs-FC analysis also identified increased connectivity between the left angular gyrus and the post-central gyrus in the choking group compared with the choking-naïve group (C). Multiple comparisons were corrected by threshold-free cluster enhancement (TFCE), and the level of statistical significance was set at two-tailed p < 0.008. The number of permutations was set at 1000. A, anterior; L, left; P, posterior; R, right; rs-FC, resting-state functional connectivity; TFCE, threshold-free cluster enhancement.
