Altered spontaneous activity in the frontal gyrus in dry eye: a resting-state functional MRI study

Abstract This study investigated neurologic changes in patients with dry eye (DE) by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and to used regional homogeneity (ReHo) analysis to clarify the relationship between these changes and clinical features of DE. A total of 28 patients with DE and 28 matc...
