Decades of research have greatly improved our understanding of intrinsic human brain organization in terms of functional networks and the transmodal hubs within the cortex at which they converge. However, substrates of multinetwork integration in the human subcortex are relatively uncharted. Here, we leveraged recent advances in subcortical atlasing and ultra-high field (7 T) imaging optimized for the subcortex to investigate the functional architecture of 14 individual structures in healthy adult males and females with a fully data-driven approach. We revealed that spontaneous neural activity in subcortical regions can be decomposed into multiple independent subsignals that correlate with, or "echo," the activity in functional networks across the cortex. Distinct subregions of the thalamus, striatum, claustrum, and hippocampus showed a varied pattern of echoes from attention, control, visual, somatomotor, and default mode networks, demonstrating evidence for a heterogeneous organization supportive of functional integration. Multiple network activity furthermore converged within the globus pallidus externa, substantia nigra, and ventral tegmental area but was specific to one subregion, while the amygdala and pedunculopontine nucleus preferentially affiliated with a single network, showing a more homogeneous topography. Subregional connectivity of the globus pallidus interna, subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, periaqueductal gray, and locus coeruleus did not resemble patterns of cortical network activity. Together, these finding describe potential mechanisms through which the subcortex participates in integrated and segregated information processing and shapes the spontaneous cognitive dynamics during rest.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Despite the impact of subcortical dysfunction on brain health and cognition, large-scale functional mapping of subcortical structures severely lags behind that of the cortex. Recent developments in subcortical atlasing and imaging at ultra-high field provide new avenues for studying the intricate functional architecture of the human subcortex. With a fully data-driven analysis, we reveal subregional connectivity profiles of a large set of noncortical structures, including those rarely studied in fMRI research. The results have implications for understanding how the functional organization of the subcortex facilitates integrative processing through cross-network information convergence, paving the way for future work aimed at improving our knowledge of subcortical contributions to intrinsic brain dynamics and spontaneous cognition.
