Intrinsic Functional Connectivity Networks in Healthy Elderly Subjects: A Multiparametric Approach with Structural Connectivity Analysis

Figure 3

Axial slices in the MNI stereotaxic space show the default mode network (DMN) computed for a seed-voxel in posterior cingulate cortex (PCC, x y z, 0 −55 26). Connectivity strengths are depicted in hot colors, thresholded for |𝑧(𝑟)|>0.4 corresponding to 𝑃<0.0000001. (a) Results for a representative subject (male, 60 years) overlaid on the individual MPRAGE images. (b) Group averaged brain map for all subjects (𝑁=12) displayed on the averaged MPRAGE background.
