Figure 9: Summary of the main results of the FC analysis seeding peripheral and central EVC.

From: Reorganization of early visual cortex functional connectivity following selective peripheral and central visual loss

Figure 9

The main FC results are shown for the comparison between (A). retinitis pigmentosa tunnel vision or (B). Stargardt macular dystrophy and normal vision. Small circles indicate regions of the EVC coding for the central projection of the retina, large circles indicate regions of the EVC coding for the peripheral projection of the retina. Green depicts afferented areas of the EVC. Black depicts deafferented areas of the EVC. Red arrows indicate positive FC between areas at the intra-group level and blue arrows negative FC between areas at the intra-group level. The arrow thickness indicates the level of FC at the intra-group level. Stars indicate statistical significance at p < 0.05 for the FC between groups. LH: left hemisphere, RH: right hemisphere. MFG: middle frontal gyrus; STG/STS: Superior temporal gyrus/sulcus; Cn: cuneus; Fus. G: fusiform gyrus; Ling. G: lingual gyrus; LOC: lateral occipital complex; IOG: inferior occipital gyrus; ITG: inferior temporal gyrus; IPL: inferior parietal lobule; MFG: middle frontal gyrus; MOG: middle occipital gyrus; ParaH G: parahippocampal gyrus; Pcn: precuneus; POS: parieto-occipital sulcus; SOG: superior occipital gyrus.
