Functional connectivity of large-scale brain networks in patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis: an observational study

This study reveals a characteristic pattern of whole-brain functional connectivity alterations in anti-NMDAR encephalitis that is well suited to explain the major clinical symptoms of the disorder. These observations advance the pathophysiological understanding of NMDAR dysfunction in the human brain and could be similarly relevant for other neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia.
