Figure 3.

The functional connectivity analysis using the PPI approach (P < 0.001, k = 7) with the fusiform face area (FFA) as the seed region revealed (a) significant positive associations in right insula and medial frontal cortex with activity in the FFA during the facestring compared with the scrambled sequence. (b) A negative relationship to activity in FFA was found in the right inferior occipital gyrus. (c) Internal compared with external encoders revealed a higher functional connectivity in the orbito‐frontal cortex (OFC) with activity in FFA during the face‐string sequence. The left panel shows the left hemisphere from a ventral view with the activation cluster in the left OFC. The right panel shows the corresponding beta estimates in the OFC where internal encoders revealed higher signal compared to external encoders.
