Figure 1. Relationship between state anxiety and FA.
State anxiety scores were negatively associated with Pre FA in the right anterior Cg (a, r = −0.61, p = 0.0004) and Post–Pre FA in the left anterior Cg (b, r = 0.70, p = 0.00002) and the left Uf (b, r = 0.65, p = 0.0001), as illustrated by the scatter plots on the right. Vertical axes represent FA values at peak voxels in each cluster and horizontal axes indicate total state anxiety scores. The left Uf and the Ac were included in the same cluster. FA, fractional anisotropy; Rt, right; Lt, left; Cg, cingulum; Uf, uncinate fasciculus.
