Functional connectivity maps resulting from 15 components ICA (GIFT) of rat rsfMRI.

<p>The figure shows 4 axial slices covering the anatomical area of each of the 9 mean components. The spatial colour-coded z-maps of these components are overlaid on the GE-EPI image. A higher z-score (yellow) represents a higher correlation between the time course of that voxel and the mean time course of this component. Mean components comprise (top-bottom) A) motorcortex, B) somatosensory cortex, C) auditory cortex, D) retrosplenial (dys)granular cortex, E) hippocampus, F) striatum, G) cingulate cortex, H) visual cortex and I) inferior colliculus; J) example of one slice effect.
