the DMN and DR scores (Figure 3). More specifically, DR scores were significantly associated with PHG-MFG connectivity (r = 0.405, p = 0.001), PHG-PCC connectivity (r = 0.409, p = 0.001), and PHG-IPL connectivity (r = 0.385, p = 0.001). In addition, a significant correlation was found between DR scores and PCC-IPL connectivity (r = 0.244, p = 0.048) without Bonferroni correction. To test whether two correlation values of IR and DR scores were significantly different in these connectivity pairs, Hotelling’s t-tests were conducted. The results showed significant difference regarding the relationship of IR and DR scores and connectivity strength, in the PHG-MFG connectivity (t = -3.5425, p < 0.001), the PHG-PCC connectivity (t = -2.6613, p = 0.009) and the PHG-IPL connectivity (t = -2.5139, p = 0.015). It further supported the findings of correlations analyses.
