a Partial Spearman correlations, covaried with age and sex, between FC change and tremor alleviation demonstrated a non-significant, positive relationship for the cortical target hand region’s cortical FC (r = 0.28, p = 0.22, one-tailed; left), and a significant, positive relationship for its cerebellar FC (r = 0.91, p < 0.001, one-tailed; right). b The same analysis, performed in four control regions selected at random, showed non-significant relationships for the cortical FC of the VAN control region (r = −0.20, p = 0.58, two-tailed; right), DAN control region (r = −0.23, p = 0.51, two-tailed), DN control region (r = 0.42, p = 0.23, two-tailed), and FPN control region (r = 0.20, p = 0.59, two-tailed). DN default network, VAN ventral attention network, DAN dorsal attention network, FPN frontoparietal network.
