Regions showing a correlation between rWMD and UCLA Loneliness Scale scores.
The red-to-yellow colour scale indicates the t-score for the negative correlation between rWMD and UCLA Loneliness Scale score (P < 0.0025, uncorrected and k > 100 for visualisation purposes). Regions showing correlations were overlaid on preprocessed, smoothed-mean rWMD images using templates created from 63 subjects who participated in a previous experiment in our laboratory. The left inferior parietal lobule (IPL, x, y, z = −41, −46, 36) showed areas of significant correlation in the bilateral inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and left posterior temporoparietal junction (pTPJ) (a1). A scatterplot of UCLA Loneliness Scale scores and mean rWMD values in the significant clusters in the left IPL (a2). Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC, x, y, z = −17, 60, 10) showing regions of significant correlation in the left posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS), right anterior insula (AI), left dmPFC and left rostrolateral prefrontal cortex (RLPFC) (b1). A scatterplot of the UCLA Loneliness Scale scores and mean rWMD values in the significant clusters in the left dmPFC (b2).
