Functional and structural connectivity values by participant group. Inter-hemispheric functional connectivity (FC) for stroke groups was significantly lower compared to TDC between the non-lesioned and lesioned (A) thalamus, (B) caudate, (C) putamen and (D) primary sensory cortex (S1). Fractional Anisotropy was lower for both AIS and PVI groups compared to TDC for the (E) lesioned but not the (F) non-lesioned corticospinal tract (CST). Black symbols represent the mean and vertical lines represent standard deviation. ** p ≤ 0.001, * p < 0.05. AIS – Arterial ischemic stroke, PVI – periventricular venous infarction, TDC – typically developing controls.
