Simultaneous Assessment of White Matter Changes in Microstructure and Connectedness in the Blind Brain

Figure 1

Statistical parametric maps based on whole-brain anatomical connectivity mapping (ACM) showing voxels where anatomical connectivity is significantly decreased in CB individuals relative to NS (blue voxels): NS > CB individuals (). Alterations are shown to be located mainly in the tract-system of corpus callosum (white arrows). Only voxels surviving the statistical threshold are shown, and values are based on the threshold-free cluster enhancement and are family-wise error corrected. MNI-coordinates are reported in mm for -, -, and -views. Background image is the FMRIB58_FA template.
