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).
