Patterns of connectivity between lesions’ voxels and the Brodmann areas of interest. Lesions outlines are shown in white, and overlaid onto the results of thalamic segmentation also shown in Fig. 1. G.P.’s lesions fell within areas of the thalamus poorly connected with the prefrontal cortex (only a few voxels belong to thalamic areas connected with the anterior cingulate cortex [BA 32]) (Panel A). R.F.’s lesions fell within thalamic areas extensively connected with several BAs of the prefrontal cortex (Panel B). In both patients, the patterns of connectivity between lesion voxels and cortical areas are consistent with the knowledge we have of thalamic nuclei projections. Abbreviations: BA = Brodmann area; CM = centro-median nucleus; IML = internal medullary lamina; MDv = medio-dorsal nucleus (ventral part); PF = parafascicular nucleus; Re = reuniens nucleus.
