Relationship between intrinsic and outside functional connections. (A) location of OFC VLin leads in 5 patients (red: P1, light blue: P2, green: P3, black: P4, blue: P5) (B) matrix with connections between VLin leads in P3: yellow NS1 and/or NS4 uGC > 5, light blue: NS1 and/or NS4 uGC > 3 (but below 5), dark blue: both NS1 and NS4 uGC < 3; the two leads on the medial edge of OFC (O3, O4) combined are connected to all other VLin leads outside OFC (black square). (C) Scheme showing input functional connections to T. (D) Scheme with output functional connections T and VL combined; In C and D Red: TP subregions, green VLin leads, blue prefrontal and OFC, black: sensory cortices, Bordeaux: dorsal TC, purple: inferior parietal lobule; full lines: functional links inferred from present study with thickness indicating strength, stippled lines connections from literature. Black text hypothesized function. (E) distribution of onset latencies (mixed effect corrected) of VLin NS1 uGCs for OFC and other leads (arrows 1 and 2 in C). The two means are significantly different (mixed effects, see Suppl Text 14, p < 0.02). (F) difference between onset latencies of NS1 uGC from other non-OFC VLin leads to VL leads and from OFC VLin leads to other VLin leads (arrows 2 and 3 in C): the mean (13.3 ms) differs significantly from zero (mixed effects, see Suppl Text 15, p < 0.02).
