This approach is analogous to common fMRI analysis approaches in which regressions are carried out independently at
each voxel in the brain, followed by correction for multiple comparisons across voxels.
The bottom sets of scans obtained from the patient (Panel C) and the control subject (Panel D) show activation (blue) resulting from the spatial imagery task (cued with the word «navigation») as compared with rest periods, as well as the time course of the peak
voxel in the parahippocampal gyrus.

While the activation of the
voxels varies randomly during other parts of the film, at each of the 15 key moments certain
voxels are

To point out which specific brain regions have the strongest association between global network organization and IQ, an exploratory analysis was conducted,
in which the normalized path length of each individual node (i.e.,
voxel) was correlated with IQ separately (supplemental material, available at www.jneurosci.org).
This resulted
in a correlation - coefficient map indicating which
voxels showed a significant association between the full - scale IQ scores and normalized path length.

Specifically, the
voxels corresponding to striatum (caudate, putamen, and ventral striatum) and thalamus were defined
in the MNI stereotactic space using the Automated Anatomical Labeling atlas (41); thresholding, the simplest method of image segmentation, was used to identify midbrain
voxels on a T1 - weighted image (ch2.img; an average of 27 T1 - weighted scans of the same individual that is included
in the MRIcro template folder).

In an HBM poster from the 2012 meeting, You and colleagues reported using a «connectivity degree» — computed by counting, for each voxel, the number of voxels meeting a correlation threshold of r > 0.25 inside (local) and outside (distant) its neighborhood defined as a sphere of 14 mm radius (Sepulcre et al., 2010)-- to find that degree of functional connectivity was higher in 7 — 13 - year - old children with ASD than TD children (You et al., 2012

Participants (aged 10 - 23 years) included 17 males and females with FXS and 16 males and females serving as controls.Univariate
voxel - based morphometric analyses, fractional amplitude of low - frequency fluctuations (fALFF) analysis, and group - independent component analysis with dual regression.Patients with FXS showed decreased functional connectivity

To demonstrate the predictive value of individual differences
in morphometric patterns of gray matter density for intelligence, we applied

The spatial smoothness of T2 * images was greater at 3 T by less than 1 mm, suggesting that the greater extent of activation at 3 T beyond these spatial scales was not due primarily to increased intrinsic spatial correlations at 3 T. Rather, the increase
in percentage of
voxels activated reflects increased sensitivity for detection of brain activation at higher field strength.
Since the number of
voxels differed across subjects as described above, for each element
in the correlation matrix, some subjects may have a valid correlation coefficient for the corresponding node - pair whereas the other subjects may not have a valid correlation coefficient because either node
in the node - pair is missing.
Therefore, when functional brain networks are constructed at the
voxel - level, a resolution similar to ICA, a network based approach offers distinct advantages over ICA
in understanding the overall organization of the brain network.
We then examined network modules
in these
voxel - based networks for consistency across subjects, and whether consistent modules are comparable to the RSNs found by ICA studies.
Each
voxel was treated as a node
in the resulting network.
Module - specific SI images are analogous to coefficient of variation (CV) images, which are used
in ICA analyses to summarize consistency of RSNs at the
voxel - level [5].
The normalized fMRI data was masked so that only the gray matter
voxels corresponding to the areas specified by the AAL (Automated Anatomical Labeling) atlas [40] were included

in the reverse and interaction contrasts were observed at the
voxel - corrected statistical threshold (although a more - lenient cluster - corrected threshold nonetheless yielded significant clusters

in the original model).
In this work, we examined resting - state fMRI networks from 194 subjects at a
voxel - level resolution, and examined the consistency of RSNs across subjects using a metric called scaled inclusivity (SI), which summarizes consistency of modular partitions across networks.
It is possible to visualize which subject is most representative at different
voxel locations, as seen
in Figure 3.
They were then multiplied with the group mask to ensure that each seed region only included brain
