Human brain imaging studies have revealed the presence
of functionally specialized sub-systems interlinked by
highly-connected hub nodes. However, the extent to
which a similar functional architecture exists in the
mouse brain remains to be fully elucidated. We have
computed voxel-scale whole-brain functional connectivity
maps to generate a comprehensive mouse brain functional
connectome. Consistent with human studies, we show that
mouse brain contains mutually-interconnected connector
hubs in several sub-regions of a default mode network,
and in well-known integrative cortical structures. Our
findings suggest the presence of
evolutionarily-conserved, mutually-interconnected
functional modules and cortical hubs as a fundamental
feature of the mammal brain.
