Figure 2 Correlograms for structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) between structural hubs and functional hubs (hub-hub connections) in impaired vs unimpaired patients with associated p value maps (Mann-Whitney U tests)
Conclusion: RT adversely affects functional hubs in a dose-dependent manner, contributing to cognitive dysfunction. Protecting these regions from dose may potentially mitigate cognitive side effects in glioma patients. The altered structural and functional hub-connectivity pattern may provide further evidence for the network failure theory as common pathway for cognitive impairments.

However, concerns remain regarding the applicability to standard practice, real-world toxicities, and efficacy outcomes.
