Figure 3

Neuronal Avalanches comparison. The box plots refer to the comparison of functional repertoires (the total number of unique avalanche patterns that occurred in each MC phase) in the beta band, estimated in 25 women (N = 25) during the MC. In each box plot, the values are shown at early follicular, peri-ovulatory and mid-luteal phases. The upper and lower bound of the rectangles refer to the 25th to 75th percentiles, respectively. The median value is represented by a horizontal line inside each box, the whiskers extend to the 10th and 90th percentiles. The box plots show a significantly higher functional repertoire during the peri-ovulatory phase, as compared to the early follicular (p = 0.026) phase. Significance p value: *p < 0.05. The figure was made using Matlab 2019a.
