Regions of interest were manually placed in four different thalamic regions (ventrolateral, medial, anterior and posterior region) and four localisations in cortex (prefrontal, parietal (post S1 ...
The blue box (right) depicts thalamic territory that exhibited decreased connectivity with the occipital cortex in congenitally blind individuals, namely the left pulvinar/lateral posterior nucleus.
Fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) images and T2-weighted sequences revealed hyperintensity of the caudate, putamen, posterior thalamus, and medial temporal lobes bilaterally (Figure 1).
