ObjectiveTo determine the changes in interhemispheric functional coordination in patients with obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) relative to controls, using a recently introduced method of analysis: voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC).MethodsTwenty-nine patients with OSAHS and twenty-six normal sex-, age-, and education-matched controls were recruited and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were obtained. We employed VMHC to analyze the interhemispheric functional connectivity differences between groups. The z-values of alterations in VMHC in brain region were correlated with clinical characteristics.ResultsCompared with controls, patients with OSAHS had significantly higher scores for body mass index (t = 5.749, P
