  • This can be estimated only for regions with either a cubic of quadratic trajectory (thus, regions with a linear trajectory are marked with a dash). For regions with a mix of trajectories (e.g., the insula), the dominant trajectory, which applies to the majority of points within the region, is given. L, Left; R, right.
