Supplementary Table 2.Correlations between clinical variables, DMN connectivity and cognitive performance. DMN hypoconnectivity was significantly and specifically correlated with the insulin resistance level (A), and this correlation was only presented in the T2DM group (B). No correlations were observed between the network connectivity and the other clinical parameters in both groups (A and B).
