We present a set of dynamic features
governing whole-brain spontaneous fMRI activity in the mammalian brain (mouse, macaque
and human), delineating reproducible and recurrent BOLD co-activation topographies; state-dependent
dynamics; and evolutionary links between species.

reveals evolutionarily conserved rsfMRI
network engagements. Co-activation
patterns (CAPs) from mice, macaques, and humans (p<0.05,Bonferroni
corrected). Red indicates significant co-activation, blue significant
co-deactivations. Abbreviations: Ctx-Cortex; SMN-Sensory-motor Network;
DMN-Default-Mode Network; TH-Thalamus; Cd/Pu-Caudate/Putamen;VIS-Visual
Network LN-Limbic Network;HCP-Hippocampus;
ECN-Executive-Control Network;DAN-Dorsal-Attention
Network; SN-Salience Network.
Fig3. CAPs exhibit infraslow
fluctuations and gradual assembly/disassembly. A), C), E) Power-spectral density (PSD)
of CAP-to-frame correlation timecourses (mean +/-SEM). B),D),F) CAP temporal
assembly by time-lock averaging the highest peaks in the CAP timecourse.
