Correlations between amygdalae functional connectivity to PFC and depression or rumination change.
| Pearson correlation | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Areas of connectivity with the amygdalae during the ESOM-NF task | Amygdala hemisphere | Rumination change | Depression change |
| Right Precentral, Middle and Inferior Frontal Gyrus (BA 9) | Left | 0.126 | −0.192 |
| Right | 0.463** | 0.216 | |
| Right Middle and Inferior Frontal Gyrus (BA 46) | Left | −0.060 | −0.183 |
| Right | 0.498** | 0.302* | |
| Right Superior and Middle Frontal Gyrus (BA 10) | Left | −0.160 | −0.287* |
| Right | 0.461** | 0.307* | |
Differences in rumination or depression scores before vs. after scanning were correlated with left and right amygdala connectivity to right frontocortical regions. Note: ** and *indicate 2-tailed p significance < 0.01 or 0.05 level respectively. Bold values represent significant difference in p-value.
