Table 4.

The number of significant nodes (p < .05, false discovery rate [FDR]‐adjusted) in each brain area identified via comparison of the betweenness centrality (BC), eigenvector centrality (EVC), clustering coefficient (CC), and nodal efficiency (NE) of the complete adjacency matrices in the theta band of patients with right‐hemispheric focal epilepsy (RPs) and patients with left‐hemispheric focal epilepsy (LPs) along with the number of nodes in each brain area of the subnetwork identified using network‐based statistics (NBS) with a 3.45 primary threshold, 5,000 random permutations, and a p < .05 significance level (family‐wise error rate [FWER]‐corrected) on the connection strengths of the complete, un‐thresholded adjacency matrices of RPs and LPs in the theta band

Note: The NBS network had nodes in 20 brain areas (16 in the right hemisphere and 4 in the left hemisphere) while BC identified significant nodes in 6 brain areas (all left), EVC in 9 brain areas (1 right and 8 left), CC in 17 brain areas (15 right and 2 left), and NE in 18 brain areas (17 right and 1 left). The number of brain areas that matched was 13 between the NBS network and the CC (12 right and 1 left), 13 between the NBS network and the NE (all right), 14 between the CC and NE (all right), 1 between the CC and EVC (all right), 1 between the NE and EVC (all right), and 4 between the BC and EVC (all left). Brain areas that matched between any of the NBS network, CC, NE, and EVC are in italics while brain areas that matched between the BC and EVC are in boldface.

Abbreviations: CC, clustering coefficient; BC, betweenness centrality; EVC, eigenvector centrality; NBS, network‐based statistics; NE, nodal efficiency.
