Network hubs in HCs and patients with MHE. The labeled nodes represent network hubs. The hubs that were common in two groups include the left ORBsupmed and right SFGmed. The hubs specific to HC include the bilateral SFGdor and ORBinf, left SFGmed, middle frontal gyrus (MFG), precental gyrus (PreCG), TPOsup, INS, ROL and REC and right ORBsup, ACG, IPL and ANG. The hubs specific to MHE patients include the bilateral IFGtriang and DCG, left MOG, ORBsup and CAL, and right ORBsupmed, MFG, HIP, LING, inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) and HES. The abbreviations for brain regions are presented in Table 2.
