Brain morphometric similarity and flexibility.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cerebral cortex is represented through multiple multilayer morphometric similarity networks to study their modular structures. The approach introduces a novel way for studying brain networks' metrics across individuals, and can quantify network properties usually not revealed using conventional network analyses.

Methods

A total of 8 combinations or types of morphometric similarity networks were constructed - 4 combinations of the inter-regional cortical features on 2 brain atlases. The networks' modular structures were investigated by identifying those modular interactions that stay consistent across the combinations of inter-regional morphometric features and individuals.

Results

The results provide evidence of the community structures as the property
