Before revision:  Of particular interest is the modular nature of the human brain, where the connectome is divided into subnetworks and subsequently studied to investigate changes with development, aging or disease . Here, we present a new, weighted network measure called the Network Dependency Index (NDI), which can be used to identify an individual region's importance to the global functioning of the network.
