Network hubs in the human brain. (2013, background): “These studies have suggested a strong focus of functional interactions in the ventral and dorsal precuneus, posterior and anterior cingulate gyrus, ventromedial frontal cortex, and inferior parietal brain regions (e.g., [76–79]).”
The Human Thalamus Is an Integrative Hub for Functional Brain Networks (2016, background): “The thalamus is one of the most globally connected neural structures (Cole et al., 2010; Crossley et al., 2013); thalamocortical projections relay nearly all incoming information to the cortex, as well as mediate cortico-cortical communication (Sherman and Guillery, 2013).”
Functional connectivity hubs in the human brain (2011, unknown): “…voxelwise data-driven approaches also documented functional hubs in ventral precuneus and frontal cortex and visual areas (Buckner et al., 2009; Cole et al., 2010; Guye et al., 2010; Tomasi and Volkow, 2010; van den Heuvel et al., 2008) and magneto encephalography studies have indentified the…”
Graph Theoretical Analysis of Functional Brain Networks: Test-Retest Evaluation on Short- and Long-Term Resting-State Functional MRI Data (2011, background): “Most of these regions have been identified to serve as structural or functional hubs/connectors in human brain networks [43,44,54,60, 63,64,65,66].”
Global connectivity of prefrontal cortex predicts cognitive control and intelligence (2012, methodology): “A region’s GBC was computed as the average connectivity of that region with the rest of the brain (equivalent to unthresholded weighted degree centrality) (Cole et al., 2010b).”
Functional network organization of the human brain (2011, background): “Standard approaches to forming whole-brain rs-fcMRI graphs often ignore this issue and define nodes as voxels (Buckner et al., 2009; Cole et al., 2010; Fransson et al., 2011; Tomasi and Volkow, 2011; van den Heuvel et al., 2008), large parcels from anatomically based brain atlases (Hartman et al.”
Functional connectivity mapping of the human precuneus by resting state fMRI (2012, methodology): “Using resting state functional connectivity MRI, recent studies showed that the precuneus, amygdala, as well as orbital frontal gyrus are the major cortical and subcortical hubs or the brain's most globally connected areas (Cole et al., 2010; Tomasi and Volkow, 2011).”
GRETNA: a graph theoretical network analysis toolbox for imaging connectomics (2015, background): “Notably, binary networks neglect the strength of connections above the threshold, and therefore fail to identify subtle network organizations (Cole et al., 2010).”
Global Signal Regression Strengthens Association between Resting-State Functional Connectivity and Behavior (2019, background): “…(Schölvinck et al., 2010; Matsui et al., 2016; Wen and Liu, 2016) and is associated with vigilance and arousal (Wong et al., 2013, 2016; Yeo et al., 2015b; Chang et al., 2016), some have argued against removing such information (Cole et al., 2010; Ben Simon et al., 2017; Glasser et al., 2018).”
Hierarchical Heterogeneity across Human Cortex Shapes Large-Scale Neural Dynamics (2018, unknown): “To test for differences between the average measures in sensory and association areas in empirical data (i.e., T1w/T2w maps, GBC, inter-individual dissimilarity), we used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.”
Tracking whole-brain connectivity dynamics in the resting state. (2014, unknown): “connected (Cole et al. 2010) and some consistently emerge as structural and functional hubs (Hagmann et al.”
