Hubs, influencers, and communities of executive functions: a task-based fMRI graph analysis by Alexandra T. Davis

“…IntroductionThis study investigates four subdomains of executive functioning—initiation, cognitive inhibition, mental shifting, and working memory—using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and graph analysis.MethodsWe used healthy adults’ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to construct brain connectomes and network graphs for each task and analyzed global and node-level graph metrics.ResultsThe bilateral precuneus and right medial prefrontal cortex emerged as pivotal hubs and influencers, emphasizing their crucial regulatory role in all four subdomains of executive function. …”
