Significant paths coefficients (mean values) between brain regions for controls and pediatric MS patients
| Dependent regions | Path regions | Controls | Pediatric MS patients |
|---|---|---|---|
| L primary SMC | L thalamus | 0.10 | 0.04 |
| SMA | L SII | 0.07 | 0.03 |
| L thalamus | L SII | 0.02 | 0.004 |
| L insula | 0.03 | 0.009 | |
| L insula | L SII | 0.06 | 0.03 |
Only connections significantly different between controls and MS patients have been reported. L, left; R, right; SMC, sensorimotor cortex; SMA, supplementary motor area; SII, secondary sensorimotor cortex; MS, multiple sclerosis.
