Figure 3

Between-groups differences in dFCD maps.

Differences across groups are detected in the IPL, cuneus, precuneus, MTG, right middle frontal, thalamus and caudate head regions by ANOVA. Decreased dFCD in the left IPL, right cuneus and medial frontal cortex is observed in non-HE patients relative to controls. MHE patients show decreased dFCD in frontal and parietal cortices but increased dFCD in bilateral thalami and the caudate head as compared to non-HE and control groups. dFCD = distant functional connectivity density; ANOVA = analysis of variance; MHE = minimal hepatic encephalopathy; non-HE = non-hepatic encephalopathy; IPL = inferior parietal lobule; MTG = middle temporal gyrus.
