In cocaine addiction, repeated CLAV decreased the anterior
cingulate connectivity with default mode and cue reactivity related networks,
while it increased the anterior cingulate connectivity with sensory-motor and
motor control processing networks.
Fig. 1 Statistical nonparametric map showing regions with significant decrease
in functional connectivity (FC) with the ACC after 10days of CLAV
administration compared to baseline. Regions of decreased FC (FDR=0.01,
corrected) in blue-green scale (paired t-test T-value threshold 5.3) overlaid
on the standard MNI-152 brain in grey scale. Right side sagittal slice (y=-56) shows
the angular gyrus region. Left
side axial slice (z=33) shows the angular
gyrus, precuneus, and posterior cingulate cortex regions. R=right

in functional connectivity (FC) with the ACC after 10days of CLAV
administration compared to baseline. Regions of increased FC (FDR=0.01,
corrected) in red-yellow scale (paired t-test T-value threshold 5.3) overlaid
on the standard MNI-152 brain in grey scale. Right side sagittal slice (y=-6) shows
the Paracentral gyrus (pre and post-central) regions. Left side axial slice (z=48) shows the Supplementary
