Results of hierarchical clustering and associations between default mode network connectivity and white matter integrity. a shows the hierarchical clustering results with Ward’s agglomerative method. The patients were divided into two groups of 13 (blue frame) and 7 patients (red frame). b shows a scatter plot between the default mode network (DMN) connectivity and mean fractional anisotropy value within the whole-brain white matter region of interest (ROI FA) of the patients. Blue circles indicate the patients with preserved DMN connectivity relative to the ROI FA (preserved DMN connectivity group). Red circles indicate the patients with reduced DMN connectivity relative to the ROI FA (the reduced DMN connectivity group). The numbers near the circles indicate patient registration numbers. c shows dot plots of the DMN connectivity to ROI FA (DMN/FA) ratio in the preserved and reduced DMN connectivity groups. DMN: default mode network; DMN/FA: default mode network connectivity/mean fractional anisotropy value within the brain white matter region of interest; ROI FA: mean fractional anisotropy value within the whole-brain white matter region of interest
