Figure 8
Firefighters versus non-firefighters comparison of effective connectivity from the insula (RFX, t(46) < − 2.69, p < 0.01, minimum cluster size of 57 contiguous voxels). When compared with non-firefighters, the group of firefighters showed decreased influence from insula in the caudate nucleus, putamen, and thalamus, in the anterior and posterior cingulate cortices and in the middle temporal gyrus.
