Figure 1.
Between-group whole-brain voxel-wise statistical t map overlaid on a canonical brain rendering (left, MNI coronal, y-plane = −14; right, MNI sagittal, x-plane = 38 [right]) showing stronger amygdala connectivity to the insula during rest in the PTSD group (PTSD < CEC). Connectivity “target” is displayed at whole-brain voxel-wise p < 0.005, uncorrected; color bar represents statistical t-scores; Bar graph shows mean extracted Z-scores (±SEM) within each group from activated voxels that fell within an anatomically based insula mask, showing stronger connectivity in PTSD patients (>CEC). PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder; CEC, combat-exposed control; L, left.
