borderline significantP = 0.045
There was a borderline significant correlation between increasing duration of preoperative mTLE and clusters of maximum shape change in the ipsilateral ( r = −2.1, P = 0.045) and contralateral ( r = −2.09, P = 0.052) thalami across all patients, but not when corrected for patient age ( P = 0.21 and P = 0.36, respectively).
