Fig. 2

Distribution of Pearson correlation coefficients across MWF-cell type pairings at 2 mm (A) and 0 mm parcellation thresholds (B). The ridgeline plots depict the distribution of Pearson correlation coefficients for each MWF-cell type pairing, indicating the strength and direction of the correlation between MWF and gene expression. The number of genes in each gene set is denoted by “n”. The dashed line represents the zero-correlation mark, where values to the left suggest a negative correlation and values to the right indicate a positive correlation. Cell types range from neurons to glial cells, with a control group (low cell type specificity) included for reference. Genes that were classified as having low cell type specificity in the Human Protein Atlas were present in roughly similar levels across all cell types
