Note: aThe hub regions shared by the networks derived from both types of DTI datasets. bThe hub regions detected only from the conventional DTI datasets. The remaining six regions are the hubs detected only from the FLAIR-DTI datasets. The symbol “–” stands for “not reported” in these previous studies. “Y” indicates that the region has been identified as a “hub”, and “N” indicates that it has not been identified as a hub.
