Fig. 2: The caudate functional connectivity covaries with the oxytocin and dopamine transporter availabilities.
From: Dysregulation of oxytocin and dopamine in the corticostriatal circuitry in bipolar II disorder
The oxytocin and dopamine transporter (DAT) availabilities were correlated negatively with the dorsal caudate-posterior parietal cortex functional connectivity only in the healthy controls (blue diamond) and not in the bipolar II disorder (BD II) patients (red dot). The scatterplots disclose the relationships between the dorsal caudate-seeded functional connectivity around the peak voxel (see Table 3) and a oxytocin and b dopamine transporter (DAT) availability. The corresponding correlation coefficients (r) and p values are provided. Significance was thresholded at the uncorrected voxel level p = 0.001, followed by the FWE-corrected cluster level p = 0.05.
