Implication

Cross-sectional study shows altered brain connectivity patterns in patients with cervical spinal cord compression, highlighting visual and motor reliance.

Key Points

Patients with asymptomatic cervical spinal cord compression exhibit stronger functional connectivity between visual and motor networks.
The intracalcarine cortex serves as the largest hub reflecting the connection strength differences between groups.
Functional connectivity alterations correlated with Neck Disability Index scores, indicating a compensatory mechanism in the brain.
These findings suggest early brain adaptations that could guide clinical interventions for spinal cord compression patients.
