Figure 3. Local Efficiency of Predefined (A) Frontal-Executive and (B) Perisylvian Subnetworks in B-LTLE and M-LTLE.
A significant interaction between subnetwork and language status such that B-LTLE had higher frontal-executive, but not perisylvian, local efficiency relative to M-LTLE. Panel A visualizes nodes that comprised the frontal-executive subnetwork in coronal and axial views. Panel B visualizes nodes that comprised the perisylvian (i.e., language) subnetwork in sagittal and axial views. Plotted are z scores (relative to healthy controls) of the mean subnetwork efficiency. B-LTLE and M-LTLEs are coded as circles and triangles, respectively. AUC = area under the curve; B-LTLE = bilingual left temporal lobe epilepsy; M-LTLE = monolingual left temporal lobe epilepsy.
