  1. RSFC = resting-state functional connectivity; CB = congenitally blind; SC = sighted controls; FC = functional connectivity; VIS = visual region; LH = left hemisphere; SOM = somatosensory region; RH = right hemisphere; AUD = auditory region.
  2. aSample size after outlier removal. bPositive t values indicate that the mean was higher in the normally sighted group than in the congenitally blind group, whereas negative t values indicate that the mean was lower in the normally sighted group than in the congenitally blind group. *p < .050.
