Figure 5. Sparsity-independent stability of the human brain functional directed network properties.

Figure 5

(A) The directed networks demonstrated small-world architectures over a wide range of sparsity. For the FDR threshold (sparsity = 7.44%): Inline graphic = 1.66, Inline graphic = 1.04; for the strongly connected (SC) threshold (sparsity = 13.07%): Inline graphic = 1.28, Inline graphic = 1.02. (B–D) The directed networks at these two sparsities (FDR threshold: 7.44% and SC threshold: 13.07%) showed high consistency on the nodal out-degree (r = 0.91, P = 4×10−36) (B), in-degree (r = 0.87, P = 4×10−29) (C) and out-in degree (r = 0.90, P = 3×10−33) (D).
