The 30 most discriminant connections identified–the connections are sorted with respect to the corresponding absolute value in the connectivity difference matrix <i>D</i>.

<p>The positive sign of the <i>D</i> value represents increased connectivity in epilepsy patients while the negative sign represents decreased connectivity in epilepsy patients. Among these 30 connections, 17 are inter-hemispheric (i.e. between left and right hemi-spheres) which are highlighted in italic font. Out of these 17 connections, total 7 connections are between bilaterally homologous brain regions which are highlighted by * in the serial column. Abbreviations: L–left hemi-sphere, R–right hemi-sphere.</p><p>The 30 most discriminant connections identified–the connections are sorted with respect to the corresponding absolute value in the connectivity difference matrix <i>D</i>.
