For both low-resolution (AAL-90) and high-resolution (H-1024) brain networks, significantly different D-FC strength and variability were observed between region pairs with direct SC and those without direct SC for most participants (ps < 0.05, 10,000 permutations). R(D−FC strength, SC) and R(D−FC variability, SC) represent Pearson's correlations of SC strength vs. D-FC strength and D-FC variability, respectively, confined to region pairs with direct SC. Significant correlation (p < 0.05) was observed for almost all participants.

For Session 1, the structural and functional relationship was inferred for only 10 participants (ID: 2–11) that possessed both R-fMRI and DTI data. n.a denotes DTI data were not available.

a

Significant difference in D-FC variability was not observed between region pairs with direct SC and those without direct SC (p > 0.05, 10,000 permutations) (ID: 6 in Session 1, in the AAL-90 brain networks).

b

D-FC variability did not exhibit significant correlation with SC strength (p > 0.05).
