Table 4 Brain regions alternations and potential impact.
| Brain regions | Experimental result | Brain function | Anticipated results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left limbic lobe | EP | Regulate visceral activity | Emotional irritability, instability, and headache |
| Left/Right cerebellum posterior lobe | EP>HC | Participate in the coordination of sports, the formation and proficiency of delicate movements | Recurrent headache, vertigo, and nausea |
| Left inferior temporal gyrus | EP>HC | Participate in visual processing, related to memory | Blurred vision |
| Left inferior parietal lobule | EP>HC | Participate in the perception of facial stimuli, interpret sensory information, and also relate to semantic processing and mathematical operations | Blurred vision, dizziness, and grumpy temper |
| Left precuneus | EP>HC | Participate in visual spatial integration, scene memory recovery and self-awareness | Vertigo, nausea, impatience, and obsessive-compulsive disorder |
| EP – eye pain group; HC – healthy control group. | |||
