Increased BOLD Variability in the Parietal Cortex and Enhanced Parieto-Occipital Connectivity during Tactile Perception in Congenitally Blind Individuals
Figure 2
Group functional connectivity (FC) maps obtained for sighted (first column) and blind (second column) individuals during (a) the tactile spatial discrimination and (b) the tactile motion perception tasks (corrected ). The third column (c)-(d) shows the differences in functional connectivity between the two groups (uncorrected , voxels). The left inferior parietal seed ROI has been indicated with a purple circle. Spatially normalized maps are projected onto single-subject left and right hemisphere templates in the Talairach space in frontal and lateral views. Cun: cuneus; SO: superior occipital; MO: middle occipital; SMa: supramarginal; IP: inferior parietal; ST: superior temporal; AT: anterior temporal.
