Figures of correlations to MT/v5
In the resting condition in both the individual experiments, MT/v5 showed strong positive correlations with the lingual gyrus, dorsal cuneus and middle occipital gyrus, and a strong negative correlation with the thalamus. In the motion viewing condition in both experiments the correlations to the lingual gyrus, cuneus, and thalamus were reduced in magnitude, but the correlation to the middle occipital gyrus remained strong. Findings unique to each experiment included the following: In the resting condition of experiment 1, there was a negative correlation in the brain stem, but this was not apparent in the active condition nor in the contrast between conditions. In the motion viewing condition of experiment 2, positive correlations were seen with posterior parietal cortex and the right inferior frontal gyrus and negative correlations with cingulate regions, none of which were seen in the resting condition.
Experiment 1: Composite maps of correlations to MT/v5. (a) resting condition (b) active condition: when subjects were viewing moving circles (c) contrast between active and resting conditions. Given the limited number of subjects, we did not do statistics on the data from the individual experiments. Thus these are average maps and do not indicate statistical significance. Statistically significant findings are reported in the data combined across experiments. Left is on the right and vice-versa.
