Grand average percentage changes in network connectivity between conditions. Connectivity during walking minus connectivity during standing is shown for sensorimotor (blue) and non-sensorimotor (red) network nodes when subjects were not engaged in the cognitive task (panel a) and when subjects were engaged in the cognitive task (panel b). Walking significant decreases sensorimotor network connectivity compared to standing and, when subjects are actively engaged in the cognitive task (panel b), walking significantly increase non-sensorimotor network connectivity. Panel c shows connectivity during active standing (actively engaged in the cognitive task) minus connectivity during passive (not engaged in the cognitive task). Passive standing elicited greater non-sensorimotor network connectivity than active standing, demonstrating the expected non-sensorimotor default mode network. * = p < 0.04.
