Functional connectivity differences between TN patients and healthy controls, and responders and non-responders to surgical treatment for TN.

Connectivity difference Seed region Connection T -value P -value (raw) P -value (FDR adjusted)
TN vs. Healthy controls
Increased connectivity Thalamus (left) Insular cortex (right) t(39) = 3.67 p = 0.0007* 0.0065*
Increased connectivity Thalamus (right) Insular cortex (right) t(39) = 3.22 p = 0.0026* 0.0117*
Non-responders vs. Responders
Increased connectivity Hippocampus (left) Hippocampus (right) t(18) = 2.85 p = 0.0106* 0.0477*
Decreased connectivity ACC Amygdala (left) t(18) = −2.94 p = 0.0087* 0.0392*
Decreased connectivity ACC Hippocampus (right) t(18) = −3.20 p = 0.0049* 0.0392*

TN patients vs. healthy controls: patients with TN show increased resting-state functional connectivity between the thalamus (both left and right) and right insula. Responders vs. Non-responders: non-responders show increased resting-state functional connectivity between the left and right hippocampus. Non-responders also show decreased resting-state functional connectivity between the anterior cingulate cortex and left amygdala and right hippocampus. Two-sample Student's t-test used with false-discovery rate (FDR) correction. Threshold for statistical significance was set at *p < 0.05. ACC, anterior cingulate cortex.
