  network:
    text: network
    description: A distributed network treated as one region, such as the salience
      network. Not a structure, and not poolable with one.
  coordinate_sphere:
    text: coordinate_sphere
    description: A sphere or box around a coordinate, whose geometry `description`
      records.
  functional_cluster:
    text: functional_cluster
    description: A cluster taken from a statistical map. Whether it was this study's
      is `definition_method`, which is where the independence claim lives.
