Representative functional images of patients in various IBS subgroups at different degrees of rectal balloon distention. Brain activation in men with IBS at (a) 40 ml, (b) 80 ml, and (c) 120 ml. Brain activation in women with IBS at (d) 40 ml and (f) 120 ml. Brain activation in patients with HADS-A or HADS-D scores ≥9 at (h) 40 ml, (i) 80 ml, and (j) 120 ml. Brain activation in patients with HADS-A or HADS-D scores <9 points at (k) 40 ml, (l) 80 ml, and (m) 120 ml. Brain activation in patients with a disease duration >5 years at (n) 40 ml, (o) 80 ml, and (p) 120 ml. Brain activation in patients with a disease duration <5 years at (q) 40 ml and (s) 120 ml. Lighter colors on the colorimetric scale in (g) indicate a greater degree of change; (e) and (r) are blank
