Brain regions alteration and its potential impact.
| Brain regions | Experimental result | Brain function | Anticipated results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insula | ON < HCs | Involved in consciousness, bodily impulses, and controlling and suppressing natural impulses | Abnormal activation of areas in the insula, diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy |
| Precuneus | ON < HCs | Part of the default model network | Depression and anxiety |
| Parietal inf | ON>HCs | Part of the default model network, correlated with visual word recognition | Depression and anxiety, reflect compensation of the visual function |
| Postcentral | ON>HCs | Associated with information processing of tactile stimuli | Compensate the impairment of the sensorimotor dysfunction |
ON, optic neuritis; HCs, healthy controls.
