What functional organization does the model recover?
Seven reference systems · 12-network fit
- Network 4 has a visual association. Its negative pole resembles this system (similarity 0.84; 70% of that pole’s weight). Its opposite pole resembles salience / ventral attention (similarity 0.38; 18% of that pole’s weight).
- Network 3 has a visual association. Its positive pole resembles this system (similarity 0.76; 33% of that pole’s weight). Its opposite pole resembles default mode (similarity 0.61; 74% of that pole’s weight).
- Network 2 has a default mode association. Its positive pole resembles this system (similarity 0.65; 47% of that pole’s weight). Its opposite pole resembles salience / ventral attention (similarity 0.43; 26% of that pole’s weight).
- These are the strongest qualifying similarities from this ASD fit, with at most one entry per network. Network numbers are specific to this fitted basis; they do not identify the corresponding control networks or establish an ASD–control difference.
These associations describe where a learned pattern is concentrated. Similarity and weight share answer different questions: a pole can resemble a system closely without placing most of its weight there. Weak or distributed matches should remain unnamed.
Findings use seven-system anatomy, regional Pearson similarity and all off-diagonal edges. They are descriptive associations, not validated functional labels. Network identities belong to this study and fitted rank.
These findings describe the seven-system reference; switch back to 7 systems to inspect the cited matches.
Explore the figure
Start with a system in the Systems menu, or select a network in Networks. The atlas shows the reference-system anatomy; the graph shows which learned poles are associated with those systems. Red links denote positive poles and blue links negative poles. Thicker links indicate stronger resemblance. Select a network to see both poles together; restore All selections to see the wider organization.

How to interpret the figure
Similarity compares each pole’s off-diagonal ROI weight totals with a reference system using regional Pearson correlation. Positive and negative poles are treated separately by magnitude. A bottom bar shows the fraction of that pole’s total regional weight assigned to the system. All edges contribute to matching; reducing visible atlas edges changes the display only.
Match thresholds are descriptive. A system can have several matches or none. The seven-system findings above name the clearest associations; a finer reference may split those associations. Dark outlines indicate the table’s similarity/share rule, not statistical significance.
