To further examine the robustness of our findings, we repeated our functional connectivity versus wiring distance analysis using Euclidean distance instead of DTI-based wiring distance. The results were highly consistent with those reported above: functional connectivity between more proximal anatomical regions in Euclidean space was significantly higher in children, whereas functional connectivity between more distal anatomical regions in Euclidean space was significantly higher in young-adults (p<0.0001).
