A) In post-operative patients, connectivity between the lateral pulvinar and the lateral occipital lobe is not different than pre-operative patients and remains different from controls. B) Connectivity between the central lateral nucleus and the medial occipital lobe changes in post-operative patients compared to pre-operative baseline, with connectivity in post-operative patients no longer different from controls. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ANOVA & post-hoc Fischer’s LSD.
