The amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in middle temporal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus might play important role in the prognosis of visual acuity in optic neuritis, which might be used as a potential imaging marker to predict the outcome of visual acuity.
The differences in ALFF among three groups. G1: healthy control group, G2: ON patients with good visual outcome, G3: ON patients with poor visual outcome. Significantly decreased mALFF were observed in left cuneus and left middle occipital gyrus, right paracentral lobule, right anterior cingulate cortex, and bilateral middle temporal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus in ON patients than HCs. While increased mALFF were occurred in several regions in the frontal and temporal lobes (P< 0.001, FDR corrected).
The correlations between the VA and ALFF in ON. The positive correlations were found in bilateral middle temporal gyrus and significantly negatively related to ALFF in left middle frontal gyrus.
