Chunk #13 — Results — Spring-embedded visualization in combination with functional connectivity suggests that regions are linked more locally in childhood and are more distributed in adulthood
By creating spring embedded graphs for each of the sliding boxcar groups in age-order, a movie representation can be made that shows the development of the network relationships (from average age 8.48 to 25.48 years) (Video S1). The panels in Figure 2 provide snapshots from child, adolescent, and adult average ages in this movie. In both Figure 2 and Video S1, each node is color-coded in two ways: the outer border represents the general anatomical location (i.e., cerebral lobe) of the node; the inner core color represents the coding by “function” as defined by a large number of fMRI studies.
