Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rfMRI) can image low-frequency fluctuations in the spontaneous brain activities, representing a popular tool for macro-scale functional connectomics to characterize inter-individual differences in normal brain function, mind-brain associations, and the various disorders.
Altered DMN connectivity may change the way a person perceives events and their social and moral reasoning, thus increasing their susceptibility to depressive symptoms. [ 53 ] Lower connectivity between brain regions was found across the default network in people who have experienced long-term trauma, such as childhood abuse or neglect, and is ...
Functional magnetic resonance imaging or functional MRI (fMRI) measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. [1] [2] This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled.
An example that identified 10 large-scale brain networks from resting state fMRI activity through independent component analysis [15]. Because brain networks can be identified at various different resolutions and with various different neurobiological properties, there is currently no universal atlas of brain networks that fits all circumstances. [16]
That is, the PPI term is defined using a pre-defined seed, and a voxel-wise analysis is performed to identify regions in the whole brain that showed task modulated connectivity with the seed region. The PPI method can also be applied to every pair of regions in the brain, so that the whole-brain task modulated connectivity, i.e. task connectome ...
CONN includes a user-friendly GUI to manage all aspects of functional connectivity analyses, [1] including preprocessing of functional and anatomical volumes, [2] elimination of subject-movement and physiological noise, [3] outlier scrubbing, [4] estimation of multiple connectivity and network measures, and population-level hypothesis testing.
Functional connectivity analyses allow the characterization of interregional neural interactions during particular cognitive or motor tasks or merely from spontaneous activity during rest. FMRI and PET enable creation of functional connectivity maps of distinct spatial distributions of temporally correlated brain regions called functional networks.
Dynamic functional connectivity is a recent expansion on traditional functional connectivity analysis which typically assumes that functional networks are static in time. DFC is related to a variety of different neurological disorders, and has been suggested to be a more accurate representation of functional brain networks.
