Dear Dr. YAN Chao-Gan and experts

I'm trying to figure out the rs-fmri analytic method used in
thalamocortical functional connectivity analysis by Zhang et al., and Nair
A et al. (please see the appended articles).
Specifically, I want to find thalamic areas of differences in
thalamocortical connectivity using 7 cortical seeds (sensory, motor,
premotor, prefrontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital) between controls
and patients.
Are above-mentioned analyses possible using DPARSF or DPABI?

Thank you in advance for the valuable comments

Best Regards
Kim

Hi Kim,

As for Zhang et al., 2010,

You can use DPARSF to achive "average BOLD time course was extracted from each cortical ROI".

For "the partial correlation was computed between each of these cortical ROI time course and the time course extracted from each thalamic voxel", you will need some programming skill.

If you really want to use GUI, you can consider:

DPABI->Statistical Analysis->Correlation Analysis, and then set other ROI time series as covariates.

Best,

Chao-Gan
