3.5 Exploratory analyses on the influence of menstrual cycle and
hormonal contraceptive use
Exploratory analyses on the influence of menstrual cycle and hormonal
contraceptive use did not reveal any significant effects on cocaine
cue-reactivity in any of the ROI’s (supplementary material table 1).
However, emotional cue induced activation of the DS was significantly
stronger in females in the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle,
compared to males. On the other the hand, emotional cue induced
activation of the amygdala was significantly stronger in females using
hormonal contraceptives compared to males (supplementary material table
2).
