Here regions can belong to several, and the claim describes how that multiple membership changes with age. Regions in the midline and ventral prefrontal cortex and the putamen took part in fewer modules over time, while parietal and lateral prefrontal regions took part in more. This pattern could help explain how brain networks become organised during childhood.","findings":["Entropy was higher (more module involvement) in ventral attention, somatomotor and subcortical regions, and lower in visual and default-mode regions.","Overlapping modules developed linearly and in spatially distinct ways, with entropy decreasing in some regions and increasing in others.","Overlapping modular patterns captured individual brain maturity as indexed by chronological age and were predicted by combining gray matter morphology with white matter microstructure."],"terms":[{"term":"entropy","means":"Here, a measure of how widely a brain region's connections are spread across several functional modules, so higher entropy means involvement in more modules."},{"term":"overlapping modules","means":"Groups of brain regions that work together as a network, where a single region may belong to more than one group at once."},{"term":"putamen","means":"A deep brain structure, part of the basal ganglia, involved in movement and learning."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"crossref","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-23T19:46:21.085Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-23T19:46:21.085Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
