Differential Relationship between Microstructural Integrity in White Matter Tracts and Motor Recovery following Stroke Based on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Genotype

Figure 2

Individual lesion masks were drawn and then spatially normalized to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space. The decision to flip all left lesions to the right was arbitrary. The lesion masks of (a) valine (Val) homozygotes of the BDNF genotype and (b) methionine (Met) allele carriers of the BDNF genotype superimposed onto MNI space. Colored bars represent levels of overlap in each lesion. Red indicates infrequent overlap, while white indicates frequent overlap.
