The functional connectivity of the PCC. The dorsal PCC sits at the nexus of multiple intrinsic connectivity networks. Activity ‘echoes’ intrinsic connectivity networks in the rest of the brain. Sagittal and axial slices showing distinct but spatially overlapping regions in the PCC, defined in a data-driven way by their distinct activity pattern. These regions show functional connectivity with the networks illustrated in the sagittal and axial slices on the right of the panel. The networks are labelled in relation to their resemblance to well-defined intrinsic connectivity networks. Adapted from Leech et al. (2011, 2012).
