LH: left hemisphere; RH: right hemisphere; LHS: left hemisphere stroke; RHS: right hemisphere stroke. Three patient subgroups of categorical lesion location were tested: cortical, cortico-subcortical, subcortical subgroups. The other subgroups of categorical lesion location were not tested due to their too small sample size. The vast majority of the clusters identified from all patients also showed significant GMV changes in these subgroups (*p < .05). For detailed locations of each cluster, please see Figure 2.The significance for the values shown in bold is indexed by *.
