Figure 3. Kisspeptin enhances resting amygdala-cingulate and hippocampus-cingulate global connectivity.

(A) Employing the amygdala as an anatomically defined seed region (in green) identified increased resting connectivity with the cingulate during kisspeptin administration compared with vehicle. (B) Employing the hippocampus as an anatomically defined seed region (in green) identified increased resting connectivity with the cingulate during kisspeptin administration compared with vehicle. Group means for kisspeptin and placebo visits also shown. Whole-brain voxel-wise analyses with cluster correction (Z > 2.3, P < 0.05). n = 29 per group.
