Quantitative Changes in Cerebral Perfusion during Urinary Urgency in Women with Overactive Bladder

Figure 3

Group activation maps of mean cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes between empty and full bladder state using SPM in subjects with overactive bladder. Note the increase in CBF (in yellow) in anterior cingulate cortex (a), right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (b), left and right insula (c), and pons/midbrain (d). Note the substantial overlap with regions showing increased rCBF from the region of interest analysis in Figure 1 (ACC and insula).
