Point estimates, standard errors and P-values of model parameters obtained from fitting the exponential model (1) to temporal profiles of global graph measures. In the joint model, total change Δ is modelled as a linear function of log lesion volume, with both intercept and slope allowed to vary between stroke und intact hemispheres. Standard errors and P-values result from non-linear mixed-effects regressions fit either jointly (‘joint model’) or separately for stroke (‘ipsilesional’) and intact (‘contralesional’) hemispheres, using the R package nlme. P-values of Δvol (separate) and Δvolipsi (joint) of less than 0.05 are marked in bold.

q50 = median connectivity; SE = standard error.
