Fig. 2: Controllability distribution of the infant’s brain.
From: Network controllability of structural connectomes in the neonatal brain
a Negative associations between whole-brain (or, the mean controllability across every brain region for a single infant) average controllability and whole-brain modal controllability among three subgroups (Pearson’s correlation: term r = −0.37, p = 6.6e−16; preterm at birth r = −0.84, p = 8.5e−21; preterm at TEA r = −0.34, p = 0.0031; two-sided). Each dot represents the whole-brain average and modal controllability for a single infant. The shaded envelope denotes the 95% confidence interval. b Normalized regional average controllability was spatially similar across the preterm at birth, preterm at TEA infants, and term groups (Pearson’s correlation: preterm at birth vs preterm at TEA: r = 0.85, p = 5.5e−26; preterm at TEA vs term: r = 0.96, p = 1.1e−49; preterm at birth vs term: r = 0.83, p = 4.0e−24; two-sided). (*, **,*** indicates results are significant at p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 for Pearson’s correlation.) Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
