Nodal properties of the thalamus and cortical ROIs. A, Kernel density plot of WMD values for thalamic voxels and cortical ROIs. Thalamic voxels were categorized into two categories of thalamic nuclei (Sherman and Guillery, 2013; Sherman, 2016). B, Kernel density plot of PC values for thalamic voxels and cortical ROIs. Thalamic voxels were categorized into two categories of thalamic nuclei. First-order thalamic nuclei included AN, LGN, MGN, VL, and VP. Higher-order thalamic nuclei included IL, MD, LP, posterior nucleus (Po), pulvinar, VA, and ventral medial (VM). All graph metrics were averaged across network densities from 0.01 to 0.15.
