Correlation between alexithymia and functional connectivity between the right insula and the left anterior cingulate cortex. The left side shows the location of the ROIs on a 3D brain map, while the right side shows the scatter plot. The total score of TAS-20 exhibited a significant negative correlation with the functional connectivity between the right insula and the left anterior cingulate cortex.(r[40] = 0.52, p = 0.0013, FDR corrected) FDR = false discovery rate; ROI = region of interest; R.INS = right Insula; L.ACC = left anterior cingulate cortex
