Figure 6.

Box plots of the temporal similarity of the six GTA measures across the lifespan. Temporal similarity was calculated by Pearson's product correlation between nodes among the 81 consecutive time windows, resulting in an 81 × 81 symmetric matrix. In this matrix, average strength has been determined as a global temporal similarity index. Temporal similarity indices are presented for the six GTA measures across the lifespan (factor Age): In-Strength (S_in), Out-Strength (S_out), Clustering Coefficient (CC), Characteristic Path Length (CPL), Local Efficiency (E_local), and Global Efficiency (E_global). Differences between age groups were examined by Fisher's LSD post-hoc test and are shown by lines' color and thickness.
