Decoding the Dynamic Functional Connectivity in the Brain
Did you know that brain activity evolves over time? Sometimes it can synchronize sections of the brain, other times it can disconnect––and during periods of disease, the patterns can be altogether altered. This evolution is known as dynamic functional connectivity (dFC), and can be measured using Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) fMRI studies. Because dFC […]
