The
purpose of this study is to investigate the abnormal changes of cerebral
functional connections in preschool deafness by using the methods of regional homogeneity(ReHo) and voxel
mirror homology connectivity(VMHC). ReHo and VMHC were used to evaluate the
changes of effective functional connections of the brain from local and global
perspectives respectively.
It provides a reliable method for study and understand the neuropathological
mechanism of SNHL cortical reorganization.
