Relationships between fMRI and clinical neuropsychiatric scales. (A) Positive correlation between the SDMT scores and functional connectivity of dACC and left SMA (r = 0.487, p = 0.005); (B) Positive correlation between the SDMT scores and functional connectivity of left AI and right SFG (r = 0.491, p = 0.004); (C) Negative correlation between the HAMD scores and functional connectivity of left dACC and right SPG (r = –0.498, p = 0.004); (D) Negative correlation between the SAS scores and the decreased effective connectivity from the left AI to the left cerebellum lobule VI(r = –0.534, p = 0.002). SNHL, sensorineural hearing loss; Ctrls, controls; AI, anterior insula; dACC, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; SMA, supplementary motor area; SFG, superior frontal gyrus; SPG, superior parietal gyrus; SDMT, symbol digit modalities test; HAMD, hamilton depression scale; SAS; self-anxiety scale.
