The hub regions (bi> 1.5) in the structural cortical network of the AD group 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). ki denotes the degree of region i. For statistical properties of all regions included in the cortical network, see supplemental Table 3 (available at www.jneurosci.org as supplemental material).
