Fig. 3

Pre-operative contralateral thalamus shape differences between responders and non-responders to surgical treatment for TN. Results are overlaid on Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) standard space and are displayed in sagittal- (A), coronal- (B), and axial-views (C). Contralateral thalamus volume loss is observed (blue, p < 0.05) in non-responders compared to responders within an axially-oriented band spanning the outer thalamic circumference made up of two voxel clusters (peak p-value = 0.019), shown in 3-D renderings of the thalamus in D-F. MNI coordinates of cross-sectional slice are displayed in figures A-C. VPM thalamus metabolism:
