Brain network eigenmodes provide a robust and compact representation of the structural connectome in health and disease

Reliability of mean importance for the second, third, and fourth eigenmodes.
The heights of the bars show the mean importance in the white matter tract of interest and the error-bars show the standard deviation. The red points indicate ICC. The importance of a white matter voxel with respect to an eigenmode is defined as the decrease in the corresponding eigenvalue when a lesion of diameter 12 millimeters, centered on the voxel of interest, is cut, damaging all connections that pass through the lesion proportionally to the volume of the edge removed by the lesion. Here the labels on the x-axis are the abbreviations for the white matter tracts defined in the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) DTI-based white matter atlas [27].
