The Functional Connectivity Landscape of the Human Brain

摘要: Functional brain networks emerge and dissipate over a primarily static anatomical foundation. The dynamic basis of these is inter-regional communication involving local distal regions. It assumed that distances play pivotal role in modulating network dynamics. Using three different neuroimaging modalities, 6 datasets were evaluated to determine whether experimental manipulations asymmetrically affect functional relationships based on the distance between regions human participants. Contrary previous assumptions, here we show short- long-range connections are equally likely strengthen or weaken response task demands. Additionally, homotopic areas most stable less change compared any other type connection. Our results point connectivity landscape characterized by fluid transitions specialization global integration. This ability mediate properties irrespective spatial may engender diverse repertoire cognitive processes when faced with environment.
