Figure 3. Nonsexual couple-bonding images, effects of kisspeptin on brain activity, and correlation with mood.

Figure 3

(A) Whole-brain analysis of enhanced activity by kisspeptin administration in response to nonsexual couple-bonding images. PhG, parahippocampal gyrus. (B) Mean percentage of BOLD signal change in a priori limbic and paralimbic anatomically defined ROIs in response to nonsexual couple-bonding images. Data depict within-participant paired raw data, mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, paired 2-sided t test. (C) Correlation between enhancement of amygdala activity by kisspeptin in response to couple-bonding images and change in positive mood exerted by kisspeptin. Partial correlation testing, adjusted for visit order. n = 29.
