The correlation between the side of asymptomatic internal carotid stenosis (aICS) and cognitive impairment was less explored. In this study, significant difference of functional connectivity (FC) and correlations between FC and cognitive symptoms were found between the two aICS groups.
Figure 2 The mean FC matrices for the aICSL (upper-left matrix) and aICSR (upper-right matrix) groups during the resting state. The significant differences between two groups are displayed in the lower matrix. A positive t value (yellow) represents a higher FC in the aICSR group compared to that in the aICSL group.
