Figure 4.

This figure illustrates the procedural steps used to assess connectome dynamics. The upper left subplot demonstrates a rendering of the cortical surface with the large cortical and subcortical poststroke lesion overlaid in blue. Next (second subplot on the first row), the superior temporal gyrus is seeded. Thereafter, based on the weight of structural connectivity between the superior temporal gyrus and the remaining whole brain connectome, the number of steps taken to reach each other language-specific ROI is calculated. The sequence of subplots demonstrated which ROIs are reached, in sequence. This process results in a vector denoting the inverse of the number of steps taken to reach each other ROI, when one ROI is seeded (illustrated in the bottom right, with the color bar illustrating the inverse of the number of steps). For each participant, this is repeated by seeding each ROI in turn, and 28 unique pair-wise connectome dynamics are calculated.
