Figure 5.
(a): Follicular women show greater connectivity between the aDMN and the left angular gyrus compared to both luteal women (peak difference at −45, −66, 48) and active pill users (peak difference at −48, −63, 48). The follicular versus luteal comparison is shown in blue, and follicular versus active OC comparison in red. Purple indicates areas of overlap, i.e., voxels in which altered functional connectivity was found in both comparisons. 5(b): Follicular women show greater connectivity between the aDMN and the right caudate nucleus compared to inactive pill users (peak difference at 21, −6, 21).
