Results included in this manuscript come from preprocessing performed using FMRIPREP version latest [1] a Nipype [2,3] based tool. Each T1 weighted volume was corrected for bias field using N4BiasFieldCorrection v2.1.0 [4] and skullstripped using antsBrainExtraction.sh v2.1.0 (using OASIS template). Cortical surface was estimated using FreeSurfer v6.0.0 [5]. The skullstripped T1w volume was coregistered to skullstripped ICBM 152 Nonlinear Asymmetrical template version 2009c [6] using nonlinear transformation implemented in ANTs v2.1.0 [7].

Functional data was slice time corrected using AFNI [10] and motion corrected using MCFLIRT v5.0.9 [8]. This was followed by co-registration to the corresponding T1-weighted volume using boundary based registration 9 degrees of freedom - implemented in FreeSurfer v6.0.0 [15] . Motion correcting transformations, T1 weighted transformation and MNI template warp were applied in a single step using antsApplyTransformations v2.1.0 with Lanczos interpolation.

Three tissue classes were extracted from T1w images using FSL FAST v5.0.9 [16]. Voxels from cerebrospinal fluid and white matter were used to create a mask in turn used to extract physiological noise regressors using aCompCor [17]. Mask was eroded and limited to subcortical regions to limit overlap with gray matter, six principal components were estimated. Frame-wise displacement [18] was calculated for each functional run using Nipype implementation.
