Individual trajectories for recovery of neocortical activity in disorders of consciousness

The relationship between modelled synaptic plasticity and FDG-PET findings in DoC.
Panel A shows scatter plots and correlations between the peak frequencies of empirical EEG data with the metabolic index from FDG-PET. Panel B shows the same for simulated data. Panels C and D show scatter plots, and correlations between the aperiodic exponent and metabolic index. Significant correlations were especially observed for the modelled data. Note that the x-coordinates of panel A and B differ because fewer patients exhibited identifiable spectral peaks (particularly in UWS) in the empirical data, resulting in less peak-frequency data than aperiodic data.
