Figure 3

Meta-analytic connectivity mapping (MACM) validations. The images illustrate three independent validations of MACM-derived connectivity patterns as forming one two-panel row. In each row, the left panel compares the strength of an MACM-derived projection with that of an alternative connectivity-mapping method. The right panels show the MACMs derived applying three different seed regions to the BrainMap database. The top row used DTI tractography as the validation methodology, seeding two regions within the parietal operculum (OP1, OP4; Eickhoff et al. 2010). The middle row used resting-state fMRI as the validation methodology, seeding nucleus accumbens (Cauda et al. 2011). The bottom row used concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)/PET as the validation methodology, seeding the supplementary motor area (SMA) (Narayana et al. 2012).
