Figure 2. ReHo differences among non-HE, MHE, and healthy controls (P<0.05, AlphaSim corrected).

Figure 2

Compared with the healthy controls, MHE patients show significantly decreased ReHo in the bilateral frontal lobes including the left ACC, parietal lobes including the PCu, temporal lobes, occipital lobes including the cuneus and increased ReHo in the bilateral caudate, and non-HE patients show decreased ReHo in the bilateral frontal lobes, parietal lobes, temporal lobes and increased ReHo in the bilateral caudate. Compared with the non-HE patients, the MHE patients show decreased ReHo in the bilateral parietal lobes including the PCu, SMA, frontal lobes and occipital lobes including the cuneus. MHE = minimal hepatic encephalopathy; non-HE = non-hepatic encephalopathy; HC = healthy controls; ReHo = regional homogeneity; PCu = precuneus; ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; SMA = supplementary motor area.
