Functional connectivity research, explained
3 open-access functional connectivity studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- How is brain network organization different in autism?
Autism is characterized by a less organized brain network with weaker internal connections within functional networks and a failure to develop typical structural efficiency over time.
- How brain wave power relates to dynamic fMRI connections
Fluctuations in brain connectivity measured by fMRI are directly linked to changing patterns of electrical brain waves, with fast waves boosting connection strength and slow waves suppressing it.
- How does brain connectivity differ in Down Syndrome?
People with Down Syndrome have overly synchronized, less specialized brain networks that do not coordinate well when processing external stimuli.
