errors and overfitting, was decomposing the seed-correlation map into appropriate components. The additional regions discovered with parallel ICA, the higher synchrony with the anterior cingulate and lower synchrony with the insula, are also implicated in executive control and reward processing. The anterior cingulate has connections with the nucleus accumbens and insula in a circuit involved in emotional salience and mood, and the varying strength of connections between these anatomical regions might contribute to the maintenance of abstinence in LTAA.
