Is VLSM a valid tool for determining the functional anatomy of the brain? Usefulness of additional Bayesian network analysis

ConclusionsConventional VLSM analyses are sensitive but weakened by a type I error due to the combined effects of multicollinearity and lesion frequency. We demonstrate that the addition of a Bayesian network analysis, and to a lesser extent of logistic regression, controlled for this type I error and constituted a reliable means of defining the functional anatomy of the motor system in stroke patients.
