Figure 5. Functional connectivity associated with the decision to engage in the social situation.

Figure 5.

(A) Connectivity between left NAcc and right amygdala increased with the level of social anxiety. (B) Connectivity between right NAcc and right amygdala showed the same effect. (C) Cluster of voxels in the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex (pACC, BA24a/b; circle) showing functional connectivity modulation with right nucleus accumbens (arrow) as a function of the partner and social anxiety. Threshold was p<0.05 FWE-corrected for multiple comparisons across the whole brain at the cluster level (based on p<0.001 uncorrected threshold, minimum cluster size = 100 voxels). (D) Connectivity between right NAcc and pACC decreased proportionally to the level of social anxiety. Abbreviations as in Figures 3 and 4; pACC: perigenual anterior cingulate.
