Age-Related Changes in Task Related Functional Network Connectivity
Figure 3
The functional network connectivity between 15 spatially independent task-related components.
A) The lines represent the between age group t-values of functional network connectivity. The mean functional network connectivity for the young B) and old C) age groups is presented for descriptive purposes showing the functional network connections that significantly differ between age groups. The placement of the nodes around the circles is related to the order in which the components were extracted with ICA. Therefore, the placement is arbitrary and the reader should not make any inference on the length of the edges in the graphs, only on the fact that the functional network connections are for the most part stronger in the young than the elder age groups.
