Figure 4. The Effects of Extra-Network Disconnection.

Figure 4

Left: rsFCS measurements from simulations incorporating random disconnections are plotted against ET-ratio. An ET-ratio of zero represents the condition in which all disconnections are between network nodes; when disconnections are distributed exclusively amongst extra-network edges, the ET-ratio is 1. Panels show varying absolute disconnection numbers (11 - left, 22 - middle, 33 - right) with regression lines superimposed.

Right: The left panel demonstrates rsFCS means with 68% and 95% confidence intervals of simulation data represented in (B). The dark grey line represents rsFCS from control simulations (essentially the no disconnection condition). Note that at ET-ratios of one, rsFCS does not vary substantially with number of disconnections suggesting that a small number of disconnections is sufficient to produce the maximum effect. The analogous data for simulations involving the visual (top right), and default mode (bottom right) networks show a similar relationship.
