Psychophysiological interaction analysis indicated that while the connectivity between the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and hippocampus increased in the placebo (PLAC) group from 28d relative to 1d (p = 0.004 two-tailed Welch’s t-test), there was even a decrease in IFG-hippocampus connectivity at 28d compared to memory testing after 1d in the yohimbine (YOH) group (p = 0.020, two-tailed Welch’s t-test; drug × delay, SVC peak-level: x = −22, y = −40, z = −2, p(FWE) = 0.009, mixed ANOVA; n = 104 participants). Bonferroni correction was applied for the number of regions of interest in each analysis. The seed-region in the IFG (green), retrieved from the drug × delay interaction of the univariate analysis (peak: x = −50, y = 34, z = 12; k = 62), and the significant cluster in the hippocampus (orange) are superimposed on sagittal slices of T1-weighted template images. Distribution of beta-values for the significant cluster is presented for the contrast old > new. Bars represent mean ± SEM. Source data are provided as Source data file. *p < 0.050, **p < 0.010.
