a) Left to right: characteristic path
length, mean clustering coefficient, and
modularity(i), all indicate that the PPA group had greater
segregation (or lower integration) than the HC group. No difference was found
among the three PPA variants. See Table 2
for results for all graph-theoretic measures evaluated. The boxplots show the
lower to upper quartile of the data with a line indicating the median, the
diamonds indicate the mean. *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01
Bonferroni corrected.
b) ROIs that show higher nodal clustering
coefficient in PPA than HC. The node sizes are proportional to the
t-values and the colors indicate their module membership as in Supp Fig. 1. The nodes are found in
three modules. Note that we color-code the module membership only to facilitate
visual inspection and that module membership is not considered in this analysis.
SFG_pole: superior frontal gyrus pole; SFG_PFC: superior frontal
gyrus (prefrontal cortex), MFG: middle frontal gyrus, PCC: posterior
cingulate cortex, IFG_tria: inferior frontal gyrus triangluaris, RG: rectus
gyrus, LFOG: lateral frontal orbital gyrus.
