Additionally, Spearman's correlation analysis identified specific patterns of functional connectivity differences that are closely associated with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores in both sexes. Transcriptomic-neuroimaging analysis revealed that the expression of 1,777 genes is associated with functional connectivity differences between sexes. Enrichment analysis indicated that these genes are primarily involved in biological processes including ion channel activity, synaptic plasticity, neuronal differentiation, and synaptic development.

However, the methods for resting-state fMRI analysis are not yet robust or of practical usage. This work proposes an algorithm for sorting components resulting from independent component analysis (ICA) that emphasizes the language resting-state network. We recruited 20 healthy volunteers and acquired resting-state and task-based fMRI using three linguistic tasks. Task data was processed using general linear model analysis, while resting-state networks were extracted using ICA. An automated IC sorting procedure was developed based on three characteristics: spatial similarity with a probability map, low/high frequency ratio, and IC reliability over several bootstrapping folds. Task-related activation consistent with the language network was identified at the subject-specific level. The algorithm is shown to sort ICs with the resting-state language maps appearing among the first three with an accuracy of 74%. Overall, the Dice coefficient showed a good overlap between the sorted ICs of relevance and the task language maps. Results showed that resting-state networks were more specific and less sensitive than task-based maps.
