Results of analyses for the spatially adjacent PSIs. Comparison of PSIs in stroke patients with those in healthy controls. A box-and-whisker plot indicating values of the (a) F3F4-PSI, (b) F3P3-PSI, and (c) F4P4-PSI of stroke patients and healthy controls (Mann‒Whitney U test, FDR corrected). In contrast to the PSIs between motor language-related regions, all spatially adjacent PSIs show no significant difference between stroke patients and healthy controls. Correlation coefficients of the F3F4/F3P3/F4P4-PSIs with ARSsp scores. A polygonal line graph of the correlation coefficients for the correlation of (d) F3F4-PSI, (e) F3P3-PSI, and (f) F4P4-PSI with ARSsp scores (Spearman’s correlation analysis, FDR corrected). In contrast to the PSIs between motor language-related regions, all spatially adjacent PSIs show no significant correlations in any frequency band.
