Figure 4. Results of inter-group rsFC change comparison.
(a) A connection between the right amygdala and the precuneus that was identified in the inter-group ∆FC analysis. (b) A scatter plot presenting the right amygdala - precuneus ∆FC against the (SR4-SR1) change in subjective stress rating. Each spot shows the two values for one subject and is colored by group assignment (green – “recovered stress”, purple – “sustained stress”). A significant anti-correlation is identified (Spearman r = −0.562, p < 0.00005, n = 57) (c) right amygdala-precuneus rsFC patterns of “sustained stress” group (purple) and “recovered stress” group (green). Bars indicate standard error. *p < 0.001, **p < 0.0005.
