From: Walking reduces sensorimotor network connectivity compared to standing

Figure 5

Connectivity diagrams during standing (first column) when subjects were actively engaged in the cognitive task, (second column) when not actively engaged in the cognitive task, and (third column) the connectivity strength differences between active engagement and passive observation (i.e., cognitively active minus cognitively passive). The sensorimotor network nodes (left sensorimotor (LSM) and right sensorimotor (RSM)) are outlined in red and the non-sensorimotor network nodes (prefrontal cortex(PFC), posterior parietal cortex (PC), and anterior cingulate (AC)) are outlined in green. Statistically significant increases or decreases in connectivity strength that are more than two standard errors from zero are identified by gold plus signs and blue minus signs, respectively. All significant changes in connectivity strength within the non-sensorimotor network were negative (i.e., the cognitive network was suppressed when subjects actively engaged in the cognitive task). The diagonal blocks are brown because no connectivity strengths were calculated for connections within the same brain area.
