Table 3:
Correlation between trait aggression (BPQ total score) and global efficiency in the left habenula, the left thalamus, the left dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex, and the right temporal pole separately for the reactive aggressive group and control group.

Significant correlations are shown in bold face (p<.0125; Bonferroni-corrected for n=4 tests in the reactive aggressive group).
, indicates significant differences between correlation coefficients of the reactive aggressive and the control group based on Fisher’s r-to-z transformation. Abbreviations: dlPFC=dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex, BPQ = Buss-perry aggression questionnaire, L = left, R = right.
