Fig. 5. The principal receptor gradient separates sensory and cognitive networks.

The canonical cognitive networks of Yeo et al.³⁰ mapped to the macaque cortex by Xu et al.²⁹ using cross-species functional alignment. a, The cognitive networks mapped into receptor space. b, The distribution of receptor PC1 scores for vertices in each cognitive network shown on a raincloud plot⁷⁵. The ‘limbic’ network was excluded owing to a lack of receptor data. c, The mean PC score of the principal receptor gradient within each cognitive network. DorsAtt, dorsal attention network; FPN, frontoparietal network; SomMot, somatomotor network.
