Functional connectivity analysis with dACC seed for novel metaphorical compliments based on cycle contrasts (fertile > luteal) (n = 62). (A) The t map of functional connectivity of dACC seed with right OFG (x = 21, y = 53, z = –1; t₆₀ = 5.40) and right MFG (x = 39, y = 29, z = 44; t₆₀ = 4.32). Parameter estimates were extracted using the peak MNI coordinates. (B) Extraction based on the fertile > luteal contrast revealed that oxytocin significantly decreased the functional connectivity of dACC seed with right OFG and right MFG relative to placebo, *p < 0.05, ^***p < 0.001, two-tailed t-test. Bars indicate M ± SE. L, left; R, right; dACC, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; OFG, orbital frontal gyrus; MFG, middle frontal gyrus.
