Multilayer Connector Hub Mapping Reveals Key Brain Regions Supporting Expressive Language.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: How components of the distributed brain networks that support cognition participate in typical functioning remains a largely unanswered question. An important subgroup of regions in the larger network are connector hubs, which are areas that are highly connected to several other functionally specialized sets of regions, and are likely important for sensorimotor integration. The present study attempts to characterize connector hubs involved in typical expressive language functioning using a data-driven, multimodal, full multilayer magnetoencephalography (MEG) connectivity-based pipeline. Methods: Twelve adolescents, 16-18 years of age (five males), participated in this study. Participants underwent MEG scanning during a verb generation
