Aberrant Resting-State Functional Connectivity Density in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus-Related Cirrhosis

Figure 3

Results of Spearman correlation. (a) Significantly decreased long-range functional connectivity density (FCD) in the bilateral cuneus/precuneus. The region of interest (ROI) used in the correlation analysis was a 9 mm isotropic cube (marked in red) including 27 voxels which was centered at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates of the local maxima. (b) Spearman correlations between altered long-range FCD in ROIs in the bilateral cuneus/precuneus and psychometric hepatic encephalopathy scores (PHES) of patients with HBV-RC.
