Results of the DCM analysis. Top: Directional connectivity between the right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) and the right amygdala was decreased in the testosterone group compared to the placebo group. Connectivity in the placebo group from the right amygdala to the right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) was stronger than for the reversed directionality. Bottom: Directional connectivity between Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex. (VMPFC) and left ipsilateral parietal lobule (IPL) was decreased in the placebo group compared to the testosterone group.
