Systemic Inflammation Impairs Mood Function by Disrupting the Resting-State Functional Network in a Rat Animal Model Induced by Lipopolysaccharide Challenge

LPS challenge altered ReHo values. (a) The group difference distribution map of the ReHo (, corrected by family-wise error rate). Significantly increased ReHo are highlighted in the red-yellow heat bar scales; significantly decreased ReHo are highlighted in the blue-green heat bar scales. The ACC seed showed increased functional connectivity with the retrosplenial cortex compared with the control group. (b) The bar graph shows the mean ReHo values of ACC, LCPu, and RCPu with significant between-group differences extracted from the LPS and control groups. ACC: anterior cingulate cortex; LCPu: left caudate putamen; RCPu: right caudate putamen. vs. control group.
