Figure 3.
This figure presents regions showing differential functional connectivity for chronic cocaine abusers (CCA; red) and healthy controls (HC; blue) based on seeds in the ventral striatum (VS). Panel A presents increased positive correlations between the left (L) VS and right orbital frontal cortex (OFC) for CCA. Panel B presents regions showing increased anti-correlations with the right (R) VS for CCA, including the middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and precuneus (PRC), which were also observed for several other seeds (see Table 2). Bar graphs indicate mean z-score within these clusters for CCA (red bars) and healthy control (blue bars) groups. Axial (z) and sagittal (x) slice locations are provided according to the Talairach atlas (L= left and R = right).
