Figure 2. Regional Differences in Correlation with Rates of CT Change throughout the Cortical Sheet.

Figure 2

(A) Map of correlation strength between CT change at each vertex and mean CT change across all vertices. This map has been arbitrarily thresholded at r ≥ 0.3 to highlight its similarity with a previously published thresholded map of cross-sectional CT correlations throughout the cortical sheet (Lerch et al., 2006). An unthresholded version of this map is provided in Figure S2A. Note that the strongest correlations with mean CT change are seen in fronto-temporal association cortices, whereas weakest correlations with mean CT change are seen in primary sensory cortices.

(B) An alternative representation of regional differences in maturational coupling. The color at a given cortical region represents the proportion of the cortical surface showing correlated CT change with the region in question at r ≥ 0.3. “Warmer” colors refer to higher proportions. Fronto-temporal regions show the most spatially extensive maturational coupling whereas primary sensory cortices show the least.

(C) A reproduction of earlier published (Lerch et al., 2006) maps showing the correlation between cross-sectional variation in CT at each vertex and mean CT across the whole vertex. Note the convergence between these maps and those for correlated CT change shown in (A) and (B).
