Altered landscape of network hubs in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) with psychosis. Differences in network hub regions in HC (top row) and PBD (bottom row) as measured by the normalised nodal efficiency for all 90 AAL brain regions. This shows a clear reorganisation in hub regions in PBD where e.g. the orbitofrontal cortex is no longer a hub region. (A) For the patient group, the figure shows the nodal efficiency sorted according to the mean in descending order. For each node, the Enodal is normalised by the mean of all nodes’ Enodal, and a node is identified as a hub region if its normalised Enodal is larger than the sum of the mean plus the SD of all network nodes’ Enodal. (B) Hub regions, represented as spheres positioned according to the centroid stereotaxic coordinates of the correspondent anatomical region, with node size proportional to their Enodal, are mapped onto a 3D reconstructed brain surface. (C) The ranking of nodal efficiency, and (D) the identified hub regions for healthy participants. For each group, the existing hub nodes are represented in purple and non-hub nodes (hubs exclusive to the other group) in yellow.
