# Cortical thickness and functional networks modules by cortical lobes

## TL;DR

This study explores the modular organization of cortical thickness and functional networks across cortical lobes, revealing how positive and negative correlations relate to intra- and inter-lobe interactions.

## Contribution

It demonstrates the modular organization of cortical networks by lobes and maps the overlapping edges for positive and negative correlations.

## Key findings

- Positive edges map onto within-lobe interactions
- Negative edges map onto between-lobe interactions
- Modular organization by cortical surface divisions

## Abstract

This study aims to investigate topological organization of cortical thickness and functional networks by cortical lobes. First, I demonstrated modular organization of these networks by the cortical surface frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital divisions. Secondly, I mapped the overlapping edges of cortical thickness and functional networks for positive and negative correlations. Finally, I showed that overlapping positive edges map onto within-lobe cortical interactions and negative onto between-lobes interactions.
