The statistical analysis process for the short‐term and long‐term abstinent groups was as follows: normally distributed data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Significant differences in BIS‐11 data, ALFF values, and ReHo values between the short‐term and long‐term abstinent groups were evaluated using the paired sample t‐test based on SPSS and MATLAB code, respectively, and the ALFF and ReHo results were corrected for multiple comparisons by false discovery rate (FDR) correction.
The statistical analysis process of the three groups that experienced long‐term abstinence was as follows: sex, smoking, and drinking using chi‐square tests. Afterward, one‐way ANOVA was used to calculate the demographic characteristics and statistical differences in the brain region of ALFF and ReHo from paired sample t‐tests.
