Table 5.
Results of correlation analysis between functional connectivity and mean response times during Same and Mirror trials of a mental rotation task (p: p-value, r: Pearson correlation co-efficient, FC_S − Negative functional connectivity on Same trials, FC_S + Positive functional connectivity on Same trials, FC_M − Negative functional connectivity on Mirror trials, FC_M + Positive functional connectivity on Mirror trials, MRT: mean response time, ∧1 Insufficient data for correlation as all functional connectivity values were negative between seed regions in left BA19 and left caudate head).
