Widespread Structural and Functional Connectivity Changes in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Insights from Advanced Neuroimaging Research
Figure 3
(a) Cortical thickness (CT) in patients with ALS versus controls in the preCG in mm (), corrected for age and whole brain CT. (b) Fractional anisotropy (FA) values along the CST and the corpus callosum, evaluated by DTI analysis, in patients with ALS and controls (**; *). (c) Number of functional connections in patients with ALS versus controls, corrected for age (threshold 0.40) (): this result was indicative of a relative sparing of functional connectivity in patients (derived from Verstraete et al. [21]).
