Sir, We thank Cauda et al.(2019) for their letter discussing the implications of our recent paper in which we showed that seemingly heterogeneous neuroimaging findings are reproducible to common brain networks (Darby et al., 2018a). The authors propose a generalized ‘pathoconnectivity model’for understanding brain diseases. They suggest three implications of their model, which we respond to below.We agree with Cauda et al.(2019) that network localization matches symptoms, not underlying pathology. We investigated neuroimaging studies of patients with the same clinical dementia syndromes, but not necessarily the same underlying neuropathological diagnosis. For instance, patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia can have either tau or TDP-43 pathology, and patients with corticobasal syndrome can have either tau or Alzheimer’s pathology, yet these different pathologies result in similar clinical symptoms and localize to the same brain network. Second, we found common network localization for delusions in patients with brain lesions and Alzheimer’s disease (Darby et al., 2018a), and for disordered free will perception in patients with brain lesions and psychiatric diseases like catatonia, non-epileptic
