Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder involving impaired brain connectivity. The connectome framework allows describing various aspects of the brain topology in terms of network measures, and is therefore well suited for the investigation of schizophrenia. The purpose of the present study is to build on findings related to the alteration of global brain network properties, in order to identify the brain regions that mainly contribute to the integration and segregation deficit. Adopting a data-driven approach, we identified a distributed subnetwork affected in schizophrenia, and quantitatively characterized the related brain network topology reorganization.
