Functional connectivity (FC) of the brain changes in various brain disorders. Its complexity, however, makes it difficult to obtain a systematic understanding of these alterations, especially when they are found individually and through hypothesis-based methods. It would be easier if the variety of brain connectivity alterations is extracted through data-driven approaches and expressed as variation modules (subnetworks). In the present study, we modified a blind approach to determine inter-group brain variations at the network level and applied it specifically to schizophrenia (SZ) disorder. The analysis is based on the application of independent component analysis (ICA) over the subject's dimension of the FC matrices, obtained from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The dataset included 27 SZ people and 27 completely matched healthy controls (HC). This hypothesis-free approach led to the finding of three brain subnetworks significantly discriminating SZ from HC. The area associated with these subnetworks mostly covers regions in visual, ventral attention, and somatomotor areas, which are in line with previous studies. Moreover, from the graph perspective, significant differences were observed between SZ and HC for these subnetworks, while there was no significant difference when the same parameters (path length, network strength, global/local efficiency, and clustering coefficient) across the same limited data were calculated for the whole brain network. The increased sensitivity of those subnetworks to SZ-induced alterations of connectivity suggested whether an individual scoring method based on their connectivity values can be applied to classify subjects. A simple scoring classifier was then suggested based on two of these subnetworks and resulted in acceptable sensitivity and specificity with an area under the ROC curve of 77.5%. The third subnetwork was found to be a less specific building block (module) for describing SZ alterations. It projected a wider range of inter-individual variations and, therefore, had a lower chance to be considered as a SZ biomarker. These findings confirmed that investigating brain variations from a modular viewpoint can help to find subnetworks that are more sensitive to SZ-induced alterations. Altogether, our study results illustrated the developed method's ability to systematically find brain alterations caused by SZ disorder from a network perspective.
