Fig. 6: Exploring neural correlates of language symptoms associated with the GRIN2A variant.

Statistical parametric maps obtained from a seed-to-voxel-analysis of the left posterior superior temporal gyrus (pSTG, Wernicke’s area) showing clusters of decreased connectivity associated with the genetic variant (C-allele) at a voxel-wise threshold of p < 0.001 and a cluster-size threshold of p-FDR < 0.05 (a). Among the four different connections affected by the genetic variant, two were significantly correlated with qualitative language symptoms of the Bern psychopathology scale (b). Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. pSTG posterior superior temporal gyrus, toITG temporo-occipital inferior temporal gyrus, TOFusC temporo-occipital fusiform cortex, sLOC superior lateral occipital cortex, l left, r right.
