Hi,

That sounds perfectly fine. In general you can use the syntax:

   cd /software/conn % change this to your CONN installation folder

   conn_roioverlap rois/networks.nii rois/atlas.nii

to evaluate the overlap between the networks atlas (defining the sensorimotor network ROI) and the Harvard Oxford atlas (for anatomically-defined regions). The following is the results of that command (focusing on the SensoriMotor.Superior network and excluding areas with less than 10% overlap):

  1405 voxels (20%) covering 38% of PostCG l (Postcentral Gyrus Left)
   1252 voxels (18%) covering 29% of PreCG r (Precentral Gyrus Right)
   1214 voxels (17%) covering 38% of PostCG r (Postcentral Gyrus Right)
   1192 voxels (17%) covering 27% of PreCG l (Precentral Gyrus Left)
   190 voxels (3%) covering 13% of SPL r (Superior Parietal Lobule Right)
   152 voxels (2%) covering 10% of SPL l (Superior Parietal Lobule Left)
   99 voxels (1%) covering 14% of SMA r (Juxtapositional Lobule Cortex -formerly Supplementary Motor Cortex- Right)
   69 voxels (1%) covering 11% of SMA L(Juxtapositional Lobule Cortex -formerly Supplementary Motor Cortex- Left)

Hope this helps

Hello

We are analyzing functional connectivity using CONN, with the upper sensorimotor network as the seed. We interpret the upper sensorimotor network not as a single point but as a seed covering multiple brain regions. From the CONN network file, we confirmed the coordinates of the upper sensorimotor network are (x,y,z; 0,-31,67). Based on these coordinates, the regions potentially included are as follows:
Precentral gyrus (M1)
Posterior Central Gyrus (S1)
Paracentral Lobule
Supplemental Motor Area (SMA)
We plan to proceed with our discussions assuming these areas are included. If you are aware of any other areas that might be included, we would greatly appreciate your guidance.
We always appreciate your support.
