Two-sample t-test, receiver operating characteristic curve, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient analyses were used to determine the differences in FC between the two groups, the mean FC value of patients with CU and HCs, and the correlation between FC signal values and clinical manifestations in different brain regions of patients.Results: The CU group showed significantly elevated FC in the left and right middle frontal gyri and lower FC with the right cuneus compared with the HC group. In addition, the FC of the right cingulate and left superior frontal gyri also increased in the CU group. The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed high diagnostic value in those brain regions.Conclusion: CU involves aberrant FC of the primary visual cortex in different brain areas, including visual-related and cognitive-related regions. This finding may unveil the underlying neural mechanisms of impaired visual function in CU.Keywords: corneal ulcer, functional magnetic resonance imaging, resting state, spontaneous brain activity, primary visual cortexHu SLTang LYFang JWSu TGe QMLin QLi BShi WQLi QYLiang RBShao YDove Medical Pressarticlecorneal ulcerfunctional magnetic resonance imagingresting statespontaneous brain activityprimary visual cortexNeurosciences.
