Figure 6:
Context-related differences in functional connectivity for HR infants (A) and LR infants (B). Red asterisks are placed between-conditions being compared to highlight significant differences.
In terms of between-group differences, during the pre-social period, HR infants had greater FC compared to LR infants for right-right intra-hemispheric, left-right all, left-right homotopic, inter-hemispheric FC (ps=0.001 – 0.0001, Figure 7A). In contrast, during the social period, the LR infants showed greater FC compared to HR infants for left-left, intra-hemispheric, left-right all, and left-right homotopic, inter-hemispheric FC (Figure 7B). During the post-social period, once again, HR infants had greater FC compared to LR infants for left-left, intra-hemispheric, left-right all, and left-right homotopic, inter-hemispheric FC (ps=0.0001, Figure 7C). Interestingly, in the post-social period, LR infants had greater FC in right-right, intra-hemispheric FC compared to the HR infants.
