Functional network detail in individual subject compared to group average data. Adjacent regions of cortex (labelled 1 and 2) in ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC, which overlaps anatomically with sub-callosal cingulate cortex (SCC)), exhibit very distinct patterns of functional connectivity that are obscured in group average data. In group average data, seeds 1 and 2 would both be labelled as part of the ‘Default’ network. In this individual, seed 1 has a FC pattern consistent with ‘Salience’ network, while seed 2 is consistent with ‘Default’ network.
