Topologic Reorganization of White Matter Connectivity Networks in Early-Blind Adolescents

Figure 2

Distribution of brain regions with significant intercohort differences in nodal efficiency (Ne) (a) and the correlation with blind duration in the EBA cohort (b). (a) Regions with decreased Ne are represented in different colors: purple for the default-mode system, green for the visual system, and blue for the limbic system. The node sizes indicate the significance of intercohort differences in Ne. (b) Scatterplots show the significantly negative correlation between Ne and blind duration in EBA cohort ( = 21). The fitted values indicate the residuals of original values of Ne adjusted age and sex and corrected with mean value. The abbreviations of nodes can be referred in Table 4.
