MNI, Montreal Institute of Neurology (X, Y, and Z coordinates locate anatomical structures). FA, fractional anisotropy; BCAS, bilateral common carotid artery stenosis; KE, number of continuum elements; Z-value, activation cluster peak value; M1, primary motor cortex; Cpu, Nucleus Caudate Putamen; S1FL, primary somatosensory cortex forelimb; S1SH, primary somatosensory cortex shoulder.
