Figure 2. — Subjective ratings of visual stimulus-evoked unpleasantness change were associated with decreased connectivity between the right anterior insula (rAI) and two significant clusters: one overlapping the a) anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and bilateral paracingulate cortices (MNI: +00, +30, +24; 101 voxels; cluster pFWE = 0.0048), and b) another overlapping the superior division of the right lateral occipital cortex (LOC; MNI: +50, −64, +26; 79 voxels; cluster pFWE = 0.0194). c) rAI seed used for the analysis. d)Association between ACC connectivity (Z-scores) and change in unpleasantness ratings. e) Association between LOC connectivity (Z-scores) and change in unpleasantness ratings. For plots d and e, each point represents a subject. The regression line and shaded 95% confidence interval are shown, with subject number and R² values annotated on the plots.
