Developmentally stable hubs in mPFC. a, ROI nodal degree for each emotion category. Node size is in proportion to integrated nodal degree measure. b, Probability measures averaged across all regions within each module at each age year. Overall, the mPFC/PCC module has a higher probability to be a functional hub across age than the FP and SPI modules. Data are mean ± SEM. c, Multiple regions of the mPFC/PCC module, including pgACC, vmPFC, and dmPFC of the mPFC/PCC module were identified as functional hub regions for all five emotion categories and were stable over development. Here, probability matrices are masked by the 95th percentile of empirical null distribution at each region and age year, with probability values ≤95th percentile set as 0. An age year includes all participants whose age was larger than or equal to the current age year and less than the next age year (e.g., age 8 includes all participants with age ≥8 and <9).
