Topographical differences in the functional intrinsic brain network of controls and TGA patients during the acute phase. A (a) Significant clusters indicating the group differences of functional connectivity in the SN. Compared to controls, TGA patients showed greater functional connectivity in the bilateral insular cortices and operculum within the SN. There were no significant areas that demonstrated greater functional connectivity in the controls within the SN. (b) T-static maps of functional connectivity for the group differences in the SN of TGA patients and controls. B (a) Significant clusters indicating the group differences in functional connectivity in the DMN. TGA patients showed lower functional connectivity in the bilateral precuneus within the DMN compared to controls. However, there were no significant areas that showed lower functional connectivity in the controls within the DMN. (b) T-static maps of functional connectivity for the group differences in the DMN in TGA patients and controls. C (a) Significant clusters indicating the group differences of functional connectivity in the CEN. Topographical analysis illustrated that higher functional connectivity of the TGA patients was observed on the small areas of the medial prefrontal cortex within the CEN compared to that of the controls. (b) T-static maps of functional connectivity for the group differences in the CEN of TGA patients and controls.
