Fig. 3. Positive Correlation between Change Ratio of IA and RSFC from Right AIC to Brain Stem.

Fig. 3

A significant positive correlation was observed between the change ratio of IA (i.e., Post IA/Pre IA) and increased RSFC from right AIC to the brain stem (12 -30 -58) (Pearson’s r = 0.87, p < 0.001), illustrated by the blue scatter plots on the right side. The cluster includes NTS, a key node of the vagal nerve. The statistical threshold was set at p < 0.001 and corrected to p < 0.05 for multiple comparisons using cluster size. IA interoceptive accuracy, RSFC resting state functional connectivity, AIC anterior insula cortex, NTS Nucleus tractus solitarius.
