Strengthened Corticosubcortical Functional Connectivity during Muscle Fatigue

Figure 1

Comparisons of histogram plots of correlation coefficients over all subjects in the bilateral basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, and pallidum). Blue bins = data for minimal fatigue stage. Red bins = data for significant fatigue stage. Voxels with very low correlation were excluded for better visualization of coefficient distribution of the voxels in each ROI. In the significant fatigue stage, a larger number of voxels (red bins) can be seen with higher correlation (FC with seed area in M1) values in mid-to-high correlation range in all basal ganglia ROIs.
