Table 2. Peak coordinates (MNI), cluster extent, and anatomical regions of the contrast “sighted > late-blind” (two sample t-test).
Anatomical locations of the peak | Side | Coordinates | Number of voxels | Significance level | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Optic radiation (occipital lobe); inferior longitudinal / fronto-occipital fasciculus | right | 28 | -71 | 2 | 9039 | p < 0.004 |
Optic radiation (occipital lobe); inferior longitudinal / fronto-occipital fasciculus | left | -28 | -75 | 2 | 4015 | p < 0.004 |
Optic radiation (temporal lobe); Sagittal stratum, inferior longitudinal / fronto-occipital fasciculus | left | -39 | -39 | -11 | 97 | p < 0.044 |
Thalamus (pulvinar) | right | 24 | -32 | 5 | 90 | p < 0.044 |
Corticospinal tracts (midbrain) | right | 16 | -13 | -8 | 70 | p < 0.048 |
Results were exposed at a threshold of p < 0.05, family-wise error (FWE) corrected (for further descriptions of anatomical locations see S1 Table).
