Networks were then constructed in two-dimensional space, preserving the anatomical distance between brain areas in the x and y coordinate directions. In order to facilitate visualization of the connectivity across the brain, these two-dimensional networks were overlaid on top of a transverse slice of a standardized brain. Lastly, node hierarchies were created for each network where nodes are plotted vertically in ascending node degree order; nodes on the same horizontal level have the same node degree. For all graphs, the colored circles indicate ROIs, while a line between two ROIs signifies a functional connection.
