Resting-State fMRI Functional Connectivity Is Associated with Sleepiness, Imagery, and Discontinuity of Mind
Fig 4
Sleepiness promotes widespread increases in functional connectivity.
A total of eleven combinations of ICNs and ARSQ dimensions showed significant associations between functional connectivity and ARSQ score at a cluster-wise Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold of PFWE = .00025. Orthogonal slices through the peak voxel are shown on the left of each panel; ICNs are defined by the ICA spatial maps thresholded at Z = 2.3 and displayed in green, clusters of voxels showing significant associations (2.62 < t < 6) in a gradient from red to yellow, overlaid on a standard brain template in radiological convention (left = right). Number of significant voxels, maximum t-statistic and peak voxel coordinates are displayed at the top right, scatter plots showing the mean functional connectivity value in significant clusters (y-axis) plotted against the relevant ARSQ measure are shown in the bottom right of each panel.
