a

Region is located close to a region in the TPN, according to Toro et al (2008).

b

Region is located close to a region in the DMN, according to Toro et al (2008) or Spreng et al (2009).

Regions with positive bootstrap ratios are shown in red in Figure 2b, and regions with negative ratios are shown in blue in Figure 2b (LV2). Δ Yng, task-related activity (averaged over the four tasks) minus activity during fixation in young adults; Δ Old, task-related activity (averaged over the four tasks) minus activity during fixation in older adults.
