  1. Summary of z-scored pooled network metric values and FDR-corrected p values. The two-sample t-test with two-sided confidence intervals, along with Storey’s FDR correction, was applied. There were 150 critical nodes, 92 language error nodes, 52 speech arrest nodes, and 1084 non-critical nodes. One participant with 6 critical nodes did not have sufficient information to adjudicate those nodes into language error vs. speech arrest nodes. Corresponding degrees of freedom were 1232 for critical vs. non-critical, 1174 for LE vs. non-critical, 1134 for SA vs. non-critical, and 142 for LE vs. SA comparisons. For critical and non-critical nodes, the number of participants was 16; for language error and speech arrest nodes, the number of participants was 15. P values for metrics that were statistically significantly different are highlighted in bold.
