The internetwork connectivity between auditory network and cognition-related network decreased, while the internetwork connectivity of cognition-related network increased in PC patients. Moreover, these functional abnormalities were correlated with cognitive impairment in PC.
Fig. 3 PC patients exhibited decreased internetwork connectivity between the DMN and auditory network (AN) and between DMN and anterior salience network (SN) and between SNI and SNII and between SN and visual network (VN), as well as increased internetwork connectivity between the DMN and dorsal attention network (DAN) and between anterior DMN and posterior DMN.
Fig. 2 Compared with controls, PC patients showed significantly decreased network connectivity within the default mode network (DMN), Left executive control network (lECN) and right executive control network (rECN).
