Abstract
Lesion research classically maps behavioral effects of focal damage to the directly injured brain region. However, such damage can also have distant effects that can be assessed with modern imaging methods. Furthermore, the combination and comparison of imaging methods in a lesion model may shed light on the biological basis of structural and functional networks in the healthy brain. We characterized network organization assessed with multiple MRI imaging modalities in 13 patients with chronic focal damage affecting either superior or inferior frontal gyrus (SFG, IFG) and 18 demographically matched healthy Controls. We first defined structural and functional network parameters in Controls and then investigated grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) differences between patients and Controls. Finally, we examined the differences in functional coupling to large-scale resting state networks (RSNs). The results suggest lesions are associated with widespread within-network GM loss at distal sites, yet leave WM and RSNs relatively preserved. Lesions to either prefrontal region also had a similar relative level of impact on structural and functional networks. The findings provide initial evidence for causal contributions of specific prefrontal regions to brain networks in humans that will ultimately help to refine models of the human brain.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
