FIG. 6.
Regions of BOLD activation inversely correlated with HbA1c in patients with type 1 diabetes. Upper: Statistical parametric map of the correlation of WMT activation with HbA1c in patients with type 1 diabetes during hypoglycemia (P < 0.05). Sagittal, coronal, and axial slices (from left to right) showing activation correlation in a red-to-yellow scale overlaid on the MNI-152 standard brain anatomy (gray scale). These HbA1c-correlated activation clusters were identified in the right parahippocampal gyrus and amygdala using the Harvard-Oxford Cortical Structural Atlas. Lower: Plots of regional percent BOLD activation vs. HbA1c for patients with type 1 diabetes during euglycemia (left) and hypoglycemia (right). Filled circles with error bars: average percent BOLD activation for each patient ± SD within the region of activation. The line is the linear regression best fit of the data with its correlation coefficient R2. (A high-quality digital representation of this figure is available in the online issue.)
