Regions showing high betweenness centrality in DKN of AD patients
| Regions | Class | Normalized betweenness,bi |
|---|---|---|
| Right superior temporal gyrus | Association | 6.87 |
| Right inferior temporal gyrus | Association | 3.96 |
| Right middle temporal gyrus | Association | 3.62 |
| Left middle temporal gyrus | Association | 3.52 |
| Right temporal pole, superior temporal gyrus | Paralimbic | 3.44 |
| Left insula | Association | 3.19 |
| Left heschl gyrus | Association | 3.04 |
| Right fusiform gyrus | Association | 2.86 |
| Left Inferior parietal, but supramarginal and angular gyri | Association | 2.64 |
| Left middle frontal gyrus | Association | 2.55 |
The hub regions (bi>1.5) in the GM network of the AD group for the MK metric were listed in a descending order of their normalized betweenness, bi. The regions were classified as primary, association and paralimibic as described by Mesulam (1998)
