Figure 9. Characterization of the Multimodal Integration Network: Superior Parietal Cortex and Lateral Occipitotemporal Junction.

Figure 9

The superior parietal region of the multimodal network displayed direct connections, mostly, to parietal operculum, but also to frontal eye field, lateral occipitotemporal junction, dorsal anterior cingulate+ and anterior insula+ (one step map in C). In later stepwise conditions, superior parietal connectivity pattern was concentrated in the parietal operculum and anterior insula+ core (three steps map in C). The connectivity of the lateral occipitotemporal junction of the multimodal network diffused locally in a wide area at the temporal-parietal-occipital lobes confluence and also had dense connectivity to superior parietal cortex and parietal operculum multimodal regions (one step map in D). Later, the connectivity converged within the parietal operculum and anterior insula+ core (three steps map in D). Labels in cortical maps: OP= Operculum Parietale; SPC= Superior Parietal Cortex; PCS= Posterior Central Sulcus; LOTJ= Lateral Occipitotemporal Junction.
