Figure 4. A connectivity model of neurological dysfunction in gray matter heterotopia.

Figure 4

In this model, based on data from this paper and prior work (Chang et al. 2007), the reading dysfluency seen in periventricular nodular heterotopia is related to disruptions in cortico-cortical tracts that normally connect regions of brain important for reading fluency, while epileptogenesis is related to aberrant connections between heterotopic gray matter and overlying cortex.
