Figure 2—figure supplement 4
Illustration of the method: for each neighborhood centered on a gray-matter coordinate, we computed cross-validated Mahalanobis distance matrices.

The two maps of interest, respectively representing the distances between new sequences and between consolidated sequences, were then analyzed at the group level.
