Activity of the bilateral BNST was significantly higher in AN group compared to controls during the reward motivation period (A). Connectivity of the right BNST ROI (in green) with a cluster in right nucleus accumbens (NAcc) (peak coordinates: 10, 8, −12, in red) is significantly lower in AN group compared to controls (B). Moderation results illustrating the association between the right VTA\SNc-NAcc connectivity during reward motivation period as an independent variable (X) and reaction time as the dependent variable (Y) among control (C) and AN (D) participants with relatively lower (blue), moderate (red) and higher (green) values of the right BNST-NAcc connectivity during reward motivation period. Unlike healthy controls, in AN group there is no significant association between X > Y for any value of the right BNST-NAcc connectivity during reward motivation period. The * symbol indicates statistically significant.
