Four major steps were included: a use multimodal parcellation template with 210 cortical parcels and categorized these parcels into 5 resting-state networks (RSNs), including the sensorimotor network (SMN), visual network (VN), high-level visual network (HVN), ventral attention network (VAN), and default mode network (DMN); b construct dynamic functional network connectivity with sliding window approach; c construct structural network connectivity and compute the corresponding Euclidean distance (euc), path length (pl), and communicability (comm) networks; and d estimate dynamic structure-function coupling (SFC) with a multilinear regression model and Pearson’s correlation analysis.
