There is a paucity of studies of brain function rather than structure alone, which makes links to cognitive outcomes and difficulties rather speculative, and no researchers to date have investigated brain connectivity or neurotransmitter function.
Since 2010 the Allen Institute for Brain Science has focused on producing publicly available resources designed to answer more complex questions aimed at addressing brain connectivity and function.
The interruption in MHC expression in the developing brain caused by mutations and/or immune deregulation may contribute to the altered brain connectivity and function characteristic of autism [ 4, 5, 19].
We then discuss sensorimotor training effects in humans, specifically the Quadrato Motor Training (QMT) effects on brain connectivity, cognitive function, and structural and molecular changes, supporting such a multimodal cerebellar-cognition relationship.
Modern neuroimaging techniques have enabled us to model the human brain as a brain connectivity network or a connectome.
An intensive phenome-wide assessment of a single human was performed over a period of 18 months, including functional and structural brain connectivity using magnetic resonance imaging, psychological function and physical health, gene expression and metabolomics.
There is also increasing evidence that the topological structure of brain connectivity determines many of its functions (Park and Friston, 2013).
In her postdoctoral work at Johns Hopkins she is using measures of cognitive function and brain connectivity taken from electroencephalography (EEG) to understand language deficits in autism.
Although ADT for 6 months did not affect selected tests of cognitive function, brain activations during cognitive control and functional brain connectivity were impaired on fMRI.
Aging is associated with cognitive decline, diminished brain function, regional brain atrophy, and disrupted structural and functional brain connectivity.
