6.4 brain functional connectomics based on resting state fmri: from nodes to networks

DiscussionResting state fMRI provides a novel network-sensitive, immediately repeatable, non-invasive tool to examine human functional connectome. Future directions such as dynamic or time-varying functional connectivity which captures neural dynamics at a finer time scale will be briefly discussed. Further developed and integrated with brain structural connectivity measures, brain network functional connectomics may help us better understand heterogeneity in psychosis, reveal disease mechanism, predict and track disease progression, and monitor treatment response.
