A Novel Brain Network Construction Method for Exploring Age-Related Functional Reorganization

Figure 4

Statistical analysis of topological properties of the networks produced using the SNV (, , and ) and classic methods. The blue and red lines represent values obtained through the classic and SNV methods, respectively. Compared with that of the networks constructed by the classic method, values of topological properties of the networks constructed by the SNV method significantly decreased (permutation test, in efficiency, in other properties).
