Fig. 3.

Synonyms task performance. This figure shows the results of group level regressions predicting performance on the high and low imageability trials in the synonyms task from the connectivity maps generated from the seed regions in this the anterior superior temporal gyrus (aSTG). This analysis shows that overall effective synonym performance was associated with worse coupling between the aSTG seed and a regions of the posterior cingulate cortex (represented in blue). In the upper panel, the scatter plots show the relationship between synonym efficiency and the connectivity with the relevant region and the axial slice shows the clusters spatial location (Group A). Each point on the scatter plots is an individual participant. The lower panel shows the results of seeding the clusters generated in the group level regressions (Group B). Spatial maps were thresholded at Z < 2.3 and corrected at p < 0.05 FWE, accounting for the number of seed regions (n = 4) and the number of voxels in the cortex. In this figure different colours represent different seed regions.
