One way to better understand results from the consistency analysis is to focus on important seeds and their associated edges. Important seeds were defined as seeds with high degree calculated from the adjacency matrices. A seed’s degree is the total number of edges linked to that seed. Patterns of consistent positive associations between edge connectivity changes and standard (Figure 2A) and extreme bingeing (Figure 2C) were pretty similar, with important seeds affiliated with the DMN and the Somatomotor Dorsal Network (SDN). On the other hand, the patterns of consistent negative associations between edge connectivity changes and standard/extreme bingeing were not similar. Important seeds for negative associations between edge connectivity changes and standard bingeing were seeds in the CO and SDN (Figure 2B). Important seeds for negative associations between edge connectivity changes and extreme bingeing were seeds in the CO and DMN (Figure 2D).
