Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Population-average functional network atlases are widely used in cognitive and network neuroscience. However, functional networks are not consistently named across brain atlases, resulting in potential confusion in the literature (Uddin et al., 2019). For example, a study of schizophrenia using the Yeo2011 17-network atlas might report significant effects for the salience/ventral attention network-A. Another study of schizophrenia using theGordon2017 17-network atlas might report significant effects for the cingulo-opercular network. This difference in nomenclature would suggest divergence across the two studies, but as will be shown below, the salience/ventral attention network-A from the Yeo2011 17-network atlas overlaps significantly with the cingulo-opercular network from the Gordon2017 17-network atlas, suggesting convergence across the two studies. The opposite situation might occur in which two similarly named networks from two different network atlases might actually have very little spatial overlap. Here, we investigated the consistency of network labels across 16 widely used group-level network atlases.
