GTA and NBS analysis provided better local segregation but worse global integration of the structural network (regular-like network) in TSC patients with intellectual disability, seizure, and higher Neurological Severity Score.
Fig. 1 The NBS result showed the disrupted subnetwork in the TSC patients with intellectual disability compared with who have normal intelligence (ID < normal).
Fig. 2 The NBS result showed the disrupted subnetwork in the TSC patients with intractable seizure of intractable compared with who are none / controlled (active + refractory < none + remission).
