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.

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).
