Altered Functional Connectivity of the Amygdala and Sex Differences in Functional Dyspepsia

The influence of sex on the prevalence and clinical manifestations of functional dyspepsia (FD) has recently been a topic of increasing interest. However, brain MRI pathology based on sexual dimorphism in FD has not yet been investigated. The amygdala, which plays a vital role in processing gastrointestinal signals, may be associated with the sex-related pathophysiology of FD.We investigated the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of...
