Fig. 1: The sensory-association (S-A) axis of functional cortical organization and its sex differences.

A Mean S-A axis loadings (spanning from visual to default-mode network regions) across sexes; B Thresholded β-map of linear mixed effect model (LMM) results showing false discovery rate (FDR)-corrected (q < 0.05) statistically significant effects of sex on S-A axis loadings, where blue represents higher male loadings and red represents higher female loadings; C Functional network breakdown of cortical areas showing statistically significant FDR-corrected sex differences in S-A axis loadings. The outer ring displays absolute proportions of statistically significant cortical areas by functional Yeo network, the inner ring displays absolute nested proportions by directionality of effects, where blue represents higher male loadings and red represents higher female loadings. β standardized beta coefficient.
