Results from structural connectivity analyses. (a,b) Group probability maps of VTA-Nac (a) and NAc-LH (b) tracts. Individual participant’s probabilistic tractography results were transformed into standard space, binarized, and summed across all subjects. For illustration purposes, the summed tract images were thresholded to show only overlapping pathways in 75% of subjects (i.e. N = 34). (c) Single-subject connectivity indices separated by BMI group. Every point refers to the data of one participant; the black line represents the mean across all participants. BMInorm: BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m², N = 23; BMIover: BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², N = 22.
