Figure 4. Comparison of structural and functional connectivity between MHE patients and healthy controls.

Figure 4

Compared to the healthy controls, MHE patients show both decreased FA and increased MD in the tract connecting the PCC/PCUN to left PHG, and decreased functional connectivity between the PCC/PCUN and left PHG, and MPFC. For each connection, differences are setting at the significant level of corrected P<0.05 (marked with **) with Bonferroni correction. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the measurements. MHE = minimal hepatic encephalopathy; PCC/PCUN = posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus; PHG = parahippocampal gyrus; MPFC = medial prefrontal cortex; FA = fractional anisotropy; MD = mean diffusivity.
