  1. Considered cortical regions were ordered by the region that varies the least (position 1) to that which varies the most (position 66), based on rank variation of each brain region. The rank variation has been calculated as the difference between the rank position at the end of the observed timeframe and the rank position at the beginning of the observed timeframe.
