Figure 2: The state-related ReHo and FC alterations in PDM.

(A) ReHo maps. PDM group shows decreased ReHo of the anterior part of the intraparietal sulcus (aIPS) and superior parietal lobe (SPL) during the MENS phase when compared to the POV phase. The bar charts indicate the adjusted ReHo values at the peak voxel of the aIPS/SPL. The error bar corresponds to a 90% confidence interval. (B) FC maps. For ReHo-seeded (aIPS/SPL) FC between-phase comparisons, hypoconnectivity in the aIPS-bilateral posterior insula and -right postcentral gyrus FCs are observed during the MENS phase in the PDM group. Blue regions are associated with either decreased ReHo or decreased FC. Significance thresholded at the uncorrected voxel level p = 0.005 followed by the FWE-corrected cluster level p = 0.05. *Denotes the contrast(s) that are significant in between-phase comparisons. For abbreviations, see the legend of Fig. 1.
