Motor Control Deficits in Facial Synkinesis Patients: Neuroimaging Evidences of Cerebral Cortex Involvement

Figure 3

Spearman correlation analysis between Sunnybrook scores and ALFF values in five ROIs. The ROIs were extracted from the largest significant cluster revealed by post hoc -tests between the two groups in each frequency band. The bar graph showed the significant clusters of different ALFF between facial synkinesis patients and healthy controls by a post hoc two-sample -test in each frequency band. ROI 2-1: right insula; ROI 2-2: right superior temporal pole; ROI 2-3: right anterior cingulate cortex(ACC); ROI3-1: left thalamus; ROI3-2: left hippocampus; ROI3-3: right medial orbit frontal cortex; ROI4-1: left insula; ROI4-2: left hippocampus; ROI4-3: right cerebellum; ROI4-4: right superior temporal pole; ROI5-1: left insula; ROI5-2: right hippocampus; ROI5-3: right superior frontal gyrus; ROI5-4: left ACC; ROI6-1: left insula; ROI6-2: right postcentral gyrus; ROI6-3: left middle temporal pole.
