Full Description
Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications is a comprehensive review of mechanisms and analysis of methods of functional connectivity to map brain organization in healthy individuals and sick patients. Providing full coverage of the discipline for a wide audience of different research and clinical specialists, this volume begins with descriptions of mechanisms of functional connectivity and methodological approaches to quantify it, followed by a focus on how functional connectivity has been used to describe brain function in healthy people and to characterize network disruption in diseased conditions.
This practical balance in book structure is suitable for readers with a technical or clinical orientation, providing background that is easy to approach for clinicians or scientists. Chapters examine fMRI and electrophysiological techniques, brain maturation, aging, and cognitive neurosciences, as well as functional connectivity in neuroinflammatory, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric conditions. Future perspectives look forward to functional connectivity in multimodal analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. This book will be of use to a wide audience working on functional connectivity experiments, as well as any courses on the topic.
