Intercomponent connectional relationships. a, The partial correlation coefficient matrix averaged across all rats. Partial correlation coefficients (r values) were first transformed to z scores and then averaged across all runs and across all animals. The final partial correlation matrix was generated by transforming the averaged z scores back to the r values. All diagonal values were set to zero. b, Correlation of direct connectional strength (r values) between two randomly divided subgroups. The high correlation coefficient (0.71) suggests that intercomponent connections across animals are highly reproducible.
