The ROIs of the DMN and an exemplary DMN pattern with significance levels indicated. (a) 25 DMN regions are displayed on the brain structure. The presented brain image was acquired from the Brainstorm toolbox. (b) The visualized DMN pattern illustrates significantly different local CC index and PLV connectivity of the disorder group compared with its demographically-matched HC group. In the visualization of both properties, red colors indicate the increased properties of the disease groups, while blue colors indicate the opposite case. The external capital letters denote brain regions (C: cingulate, F: frontal, O: occipital, P: parietal, T: temporal, H: hippocampal). (c) The significance levels of the CC indices are indicated by the color intensity with five levels. (d) The significance level of the PLV connectivity was indicated by the thickness of the curve with the logarithmic scale of the p-value. It is to be noted that only the PLV connectivities, the p-value of which is smaller than 0.01, were illustrated in the pattern. For example in the pattern (b), right hippocampus (R25) and right precuneus (R17) showed strong PLV under-connectivity, and right anterior cingulate cortex (R2) showed relatively weak but significant CC hyper-clustering. It is noted that only the connectivities possessing significance levels p < 0.01 were displayed. ^†p < 0.05, *p < 0.01, ^††p < 0.005, **p < 0.001, ^†††p < 0.0005, ***p < 0.0001, ****p < 0.00001.
