Figure 5 (A, B) Correlation between the average DC values of the whole brain in SA patients and AS and DS. There was a negative correlation with the DC values of left middle frontal gyrus. Therefore, we concluded that SA can lead to dysfunction of the left middle frontal gyrus, resulting in depression and anxiety (r=−0.9640, R squared=0.9292, P<0.0001; r=−0.9473, R squared=0.8973, P<0.0001). The decrease in DC value reflects the severity of nerve injury. DC – degree centrality; DS – depression scores; AS – anxiety scores.
