The entries below the “Bivariate Correlations” row correspond to the ΔR obtained from running the ND model with each row’s network from reported seedpoint. The four entries after the “Multivariate Linear Model” row represent the t-values and p-value thresholds obtained from ND model predictions or summed regional expression predictions after they were input as independent predictors into a Multivariate Linear Fit Model. *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05
