Figure 6.

The correlations that associate each network of the RMC, LSC, RSC, and insula seeds with lung function and severity in the COPD group (n = 15) are shown. The network connected with the RMC seed region correlates with the BODE severity score in the left primary motor cortex (x = −48, y = −10, z = 34) and in the right somatosensory cortex (x = −46, y = −18, z = 34) (P < 0.05, FWE‐corrected) (A). It is also associated with PO₂ in the left primary motor cortex (P < 0.05, FWE‐corrected). The network associated with the LSC seed region correlates with the BODE score in the contralateral somatosensory cortex (x = 56, y = −18, z = 39) (B). The network linked with the RSC seed region correlates with TPC (pink color) in the right premotor (x = 6, y = −2, z = 38) and left somatosensory cortex (x = −52, y = −28, z = 38) (C). Finally, the network associated with the Insula seed is also linked with TPC in the dorsal pons, and with the dyspnea in the right premotor cortex (x = 26, y = 36, z = 50) (D).
