Differential functional dysconnectivity of caudate nucleus subdivisions in Parkinson’s disease

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 2. Functional connectivity (FC) changes in caudate nucleus (CN) subdivisions between PD and healthy elderly (HE), and between PD OFF-medication and ON-medication. (A) CN head network; (B) CN body network; (C) CN tail network. Results were illustrated at an uncorrected voxel-wise height threshold of p < 0.001 combined with an FWE-corrected cluster-wise threshold of p < 0.001. Bar graphs demonstrated FC values in the subdivision networks in HE and patients with PD ON-medication and OFF-medication; **, p < 0.005; ***, p < 0.001. Abbreviations: FC, functional connectivity; PD-OFF, PD OFF-medication; PD-ON, PD ON-medication.
