The claim says the overlap pattern carries information about an individual's age-related maturity.

If it holds, structure could help explain individual differences in how functional networks develop.","findings":["Regions differed in how many modules they joined, with more overlap in ventral attention, somatomotor and subcortical regions and less in visual and default-mode regions.","Overlap developed linearly with age: it decreased in dorsomedial and ventral prefrontal cortex and putamen, and increased in parietal lobules and lateral prefrontal cortex.","Overlapping modular patterns reflected chronological age and were predicted by combining gray matter morphology with white matter microstructure."],"terms":[{"term":"overlapping modular patterns","means":"The way brain regions take part in more than one functional network module at once, rather than belonging to a single module."},{"term":"gray matter morphology","means":"The shape and structural features of the brain's gray matter, the tissue containing nerve cell bodies."},{"term":"white matter microstructural properties","means":"Fine-scale features of the brain's white matter fibre tracts, typically measured with diffusion MRI."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"crossref","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-23T20:01:11.563Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-23T20:01:11.563Z","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.
