(a) Voxel-wise image analyses of [11C] DASB BPND performed using SPM software (SPM12; Wellcome Department of Cognitive Neurology, Institute of Neurology, London, England, https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/software/). SPM analyses with multiple regression models in which the MMF intensity evoked in the right superior temporal area was used as an independent variable for the binding of SERT in the brain. Significant positive correlation was found for the left lingual gyrus, left fusiform gyrus and left calcarine cortex. Scatterplot showing the correlation between the [11C] DASB BPND mean value in the (b) Cluster 1 or (c) Cluster 2 and MMF intensity evoked in the right superior temporal area. The bar graphs show the average value. Error bars correspond to one standard deviation. L left hemisphere, R right hemisphere, A anterior, P posterior, G gyrus, C cortex, SERT serotonin transporter, Cluster 1 significant voxels in fusiform gyrus, Cluster 2 significant voxels in lingual gyrus and calcarine cortex.
