Group comparison maps of six RSNs between MHE patients, and healthy controls.

<p>Compared with the healthy controls, MHE patients showed a generally decreased FC within DAN, both decreased and increased FC in DMN, VN, and AN, as well as unchanged SMN and SRN. Significant thresholds were set at a corrected <i>P</i><0.05 using AlphaSim program. The SMN and SN had no statistical significance between the two groups. MHE = minimal hepatic encephalopathy; FC = functional connectivity; DAN = dorsal attention network; DMN = default mode network; VN = visual network; and AN = auditory network; SMN = sensorimotor network; SRN = self-referential network.
