Table 1.

Seed-based functional connectivity results. For each seed, statistically significant clusters (with a cluster-forming threshold of Z > 2.3 and a cluster significance level of p < 0.05) are listed. For each cluster, the Z-value, MNI coordinates, and atlas label of the peak voxel are listed, along with Pearson's correlation coefficient r and corresponding p-value of the correlation with level of perceived itch.
