In this work we investigate the reproducibility of a
relevant connectivity pattern formed by different areas
of the brain cortex. To identify this pattern, we use
data of cortical thickness measured in healthy subjects,
in correspondence of sixty-four automatically
parcellated grey matter areas. We then apply a
leave-one-out approach and, finally, resample the data
set to evaluate the influence of single subject data
over the final result. We conclude that this technique
is reproducible with different data set and suggest it
as a tool for studying cortico-cortical connectivity.
