Circle plots of significant static functional connectivity differences between the subgroups (post hoc t-tests, P < 0.05, FDR-corrected for multiple comparisons). (A) Moderately affected stroke patients versus healthy controls. Connectivity strength in stroke patients was found to be decreased between the pre- and postcentral areas and between the supplementary motor area and bilateral cerebellar components as well as the left, ipsilesional precentral gyrus and the right cerebellum, yet comparably increased between the ipsilesional precentral gyrus and putamen. (B) Severely affected stroke patients versus healthy controls. In contrast to the previous group comparison, only two significantly altered connectivity pairs emerged: the connectivity between both of the putamen components and the more anterior putamen component with the thalamic component were increased in stroke patients. Note that there were no significant connectivity differences between moderately and severely affected stroke patients. SMA = supplementary motor area.
