Fig. 7: Relationship between changes in Eccentricity and spontaneous behavioral recovery.

A Significant differences between the good versus poor recovery groups for the statistically significant eccentricity changes observed from pre- to post-stroke (from Fig. 3D). B Change in eccentricity from pre- to post-stroke for each recovery group for the significant brain regions in (A) (averaged across left and right hemispheres). Note that a two-sided t-test illustrates (FDR corrected) the good recovery group was associated with less of a post-stroke increase in eccentricity for the Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC) and Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC) regions. C, D Significant differences in functional connectivity between the good versus poor recovery group for selected seed regions in the left hemisphere that showed significant effects in (A). Seed regions are shown in yellow and are indicated by arrows. Positive (red) and negative (blue) values show significant increases and decreases in connectivity between recovery groups from Pre- to Post-stroke (FDR corrected). Small red arrows highlight difficult to see regions (due to cortical surface projection).
