Table 6.
Relationships between task-based connectivity and clinical symptoms.
| Test | Source - Target | β | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Social anhedonia | vmPFC - left vs | 0.001 | 0.732 |
| Anticipatory anhedonia | vmPFC - left vs | −0.024 | 0.612 |
| Consummatory anhedonia | vmPFC - left vs | −0.022 | 0.638 |
| Social anhedonia | vmPFC - right vs | 0.002 | 0.236 |
| Anticipatory anhedonia | vmPFC - right vs | −0.059 | 0.040 |
| Consummatory anhedonia | vmPFC - right vs | −0.066 | 0.008 |
Abbreviations: VS – ventral striatum; vmPFC – ventromedial prefrontal cortex. All relationships examined were based on a priori hypotheses. Tests examined positive relationships, other than those involving anticipatory and consummatory anhedonia, as higher ratings on these scales equaled less impairment and required testing negative relationships. β values refer to the parameter estimates extracted from higher-level analyses using FSL’s featquery.
Relationships were considered significant at p < 0.05 using Threshold-Free Cluster Enhancement (TFCE) in FSL’s randomise function, and corrected for multiple comparisons using FWE.
