Neurological Functional Connectivity in Unilateral Coronal Synostosis: A Side-Based Comparison

pa.ythelady61 shared this article with you from Inoreader Neurological Functional Connectivity in Unilateral Coronal Synostosis: A Side-Based Comparison Via Journal of Craniofacial Surgery - Published Ahead-of-Print Purpose: Unicoronal synostosis (UCS) has been associated with reading, language, and social dysfunction. Limited brain function connectivity studies exist for UCS with none devoted to comparing outcomes by side of synostosis (left versus right-sided UCS). Methods: Twelve patients with surgically treated UCS, 7 right-sided and 5 left-sided, were age matched to healthy controls. Resting state functional MRI was acquired in a 3T Siemens TIM Trio scanner (Erlangen, Germany). Data was collected with intrinsic connectivity distribution and seed-connectivity analysis using BioImage Suite (Yale School of Medicine). Region of interest analysis was performed based on Brodmann areas related to emotional, executive, language, motor, and visuo-spatial function. Significance was set at P  View on the web Inoreader.
