TABLE 5.

Differences of FC between somatosensory (BA1, BA2, BA3) and visual, auditory regions in SCI subgroups comparison

Seed ROI	Connected region	t‐value	p‐value
Early stage > Late stage
R‐BA3	R‐BA18	2.222	.036
R‐BA3	R‐BA19	2.291	.031
Early stage < Late stage
L‐BA3	L‐BA41	−2.676	.013

Note: Early stage: SCI patients with injury duration within 6 months; Late stage: SCI patients with injury duration beyond 6 months; p < .05.

Abbreviations: BA18, secondary visual cortex (V2); BA19, associative visual cortex (V3,V4,V5); BA41, auditory cortex.
