Brain-behavior relationships between functional connectivity measures and response times. (a) Significant correlations between structurally constrained functional connectivity (SC-FC) and response times, ranked from lowest to highest p-values, separated by (i-v) negative and (vi-ix) positive correlation coefficients. Negative correlations reflect connections where increased SC-FC predicts faster decision-making, while positive correlations indicate connections where stronger SC-FC is associated with slower response times. (b) Significant correlations between structurally constrained directed functional connectivity (SC-dFC) and response times, ranked from lowest to highest p-values, separated by negative (i-xv) and positive (xiv) correlation coefficients, capturing effective connectivity linked to task performance (p < 0.05).
