The relationship between PCC/PCU resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC), consciousness level, and recovery outcome. A, Correlation between the PCC/PCU RSFC and consciousness level indexed by the GCS and CRS-R scores (p < 0.05 corrected). B, Prediction of the GOS score across the four acquired brain injury groups (left, p < 0.05 corrected) and absolute discriminative maps of multivariate support vector machine analysis (clusters with at least 84 voxels are shown) of the UWS/VS plus coma patients to characterize awakened or nonawakened status (right) 3 months after the fMRI scanning based on the PCC/PCU RSFC.
