Connectivity Patterns Can Predict Mental Functions Across Whole Brain

Source: Science Daily - Top HealthScientists have documented how brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire human brain. Each region has a unique "connectivity fingerprint" tied to its role in cognition, from language to memory. The strongest links were found in higher-level thinking skills that take years to develop. This work, which appears in the journal Network Neuroscience, provides a new way to compare healthy and disordered brains.
