Figure 8

Reproducible functional connectivity pattern of the spinal cord horns. (A & B) Intra-(within) and inter-(across) slice correlation patterns of the seeds (indicated by yellow arrows) placed at the ventral horns on slice 3 in two representative normal animals. Correlation maps were thresholded at r > 0.30 (see color scale bar next to image column 5). (C) Intra- and inter-slice correlation pattern of one control seed in the white matter. (D) 3-D illustration of the t-statistic of the correlation map of the right ventral horn at the group level (15 runs from 5 animals). (E) Corresponding contour map of the group correlation pattern at three different t-statistics (blue: t=5; light blue: t=6.5; red: t=9). The left ventral horn in slice 3 in one subject was used as the point of interest for manual co-registration in the group analysis. (F) Overlay of the thresholded (red patch) correlation map of left ventral horn seed on the mean intensity map of the spinal cord MTC images. (G) 3D reconstruction of the correlation map from the sample case shown in A. Adapted from (53).
