Sentence examples for heightened connectivity from inspiring English sources

"There may be so much internal communication that the brain becomes preoccupied with itself, less able to process information coming in from the outside world," he says, noting that studies have found that people with depression have heightened connectivity among brain networks involved in paying attention, monitoring internal and external cues, remembering the past, and controlling emotions.

A study published in the journal Brain Connectivity (12/9/2013) even suggests that there is heightened connectivity in our brains for days after reading a novel.

While this finding must be interpreted with caution, given different scan parameters and subject demographics, heightened connectivity in this population is consistent with adaptive functional reorganization.

Together, our findings characterise the interaction within the neural architecture of semantic cognition – the control system dynamically heightens its connectivity with relevant components of the representation system, in response to different semantic contents and difficulty levels.

Formal analyses of the effective connectivity allow heightened understanding of how ATD modulates the circuitry underlying processing angry faces and of how brain effects driven by 5-HT manipulation may interact with personality measures (e.g., reward drive) linked to aggression.

Given that MDD is characterized by increased DMN connectivity both during emotional processing paradigms and at rest [ 18, 19], the present findings suggest that increased DMN connectivity may characterize individuals with increasing levels of subclinical depressive symptoms, possibly reflecting heightened self-referential activities and ruminative cognitions.

Based on prior research implicating heightened negative affect and amygdala hyperactivity in NSSI, we pursued a systems approach to characterize amygdala functional connectivity networks during rest (resting-state functional connectivity [RSFC ]) and a task (task functional connectivity [TFC]) in adolescents with NSSI.
