Figure 5: Spearman correlations between the hierarchical position in the visual pathways and the correlation coefficient of the GMV of each visual subregion with EDSS scores in NMO patients.
From: Subregional structural and connectivity damage in the visual cortex in neuromyelitis optica
The hierarchical position of a visual subregion was ordered by its location in the dorsal or ventral visual pathway. The hierarchical positions of visual subregions in the dorsal visual pathway from low to high are: 1 = V1, 2 = V2, 3 = V3d, 4 = V3A and 5 = V7; and the hierarchical positions of visual subregions in the ventral visual pathway from low to high are: 1 = V1, 2 = V2, 3 = VP, 4 = V4v and 5 = V8. In the x axis, 1 represents the bilateral V1; 2 represents the bilateral V2; 3 represents the bilateral V3d and VP, 4 represents the bilateral V3A and V4v; and 5 represents the bilateral V7 and V8. EDSS: Expanded Disability Status Scale; GMV: grey matter volume; NMO: neuromyelitis optica.
