Figure 6. Variability in the connectivity patterns of the anatomical networks corresponding to the conventional DTI datasets and the FLAIR-DTI datasets.

(a) The weighted connectivity matrix constructed from the conventional DTI data for a single subject. The weighted connectivity matrix is displayed using a logarithmic color map. (b) Same as (a) but showing the FLAIR-DTI data from a single subject. (c) Histograms of the edges derived from the backbone anatomical networks corresponding to the two types of DTI datasets. (d) Difference between the two types of DTI-based networks in the number of edges vs. connectivity density. Bars in blue (red) indicate the number of edges in the anatomical networks of the FLAIR-DTI datasets that were higher (lower) than those of the conventional DTI datasets.
