Summary: The human brain is composed of functionally specialized systems that support cognition. Recently, we proposed an edge-centric model for detecting overlapping communities. It remains unclear how these communities and brain systems are related. Here, we address this question using data from the Midnight Scan Club and show that all brain systems are linked via at least two edge communities. We then examine the diversity of edge communities within each system, finding that heteromodal systems are more diverse than sensory systems. Next, we cluster the entire cortex to reveal it according to the regions’ edge-community profiles. We find that regions in heteromodal systems are more likely to form their own clusters. Finally, we show that edge communities are personalized. Our work reveals the pervasive overlap of edge communities across the cortex and their relationship with brain systems. Our work provides pathways for future research using edge-centric brain networks.
