Using the GSP dataset (N = 600), we defined the thalamus’s motor regions using the primary motor cortices as seeds (top). We calculated the functional connectivity of these seeds within the thalamus (middle, left) and compared the resulting thalamic regions of interest with the lesion sites in the 13 patients (middle, right). There is substantial overlap between the two (bottom), indicating that the VIM lesion sites correspond with the thalamus’s motor regions.
