Relieving an Overwired Brain Reid and his colleagues didn't know it at the time, but in St. Louis another team was also studying the connectivity of depression.

For instance, knowing if there is a simple increase or decrease in connectivity between brain regions compared to healthy individuals, or whether those with autism use entirely different brain regions to implement cognitive flexibility will enable researchers to better design interventions to improve cognitive flexibility skills.

Scientists used a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), known as diffusion weighted imaging, to measure the brain connectivity in 260 infants at the ages of 6 and 12 months, who had either high or low risks of autism.

«Though the «blind brain» wiring may change greatly in the blind in its frontal language related parts, it still retains the most fundamental topographical and functional connectivity organizational principles of the visual cortex, known as «retinotopic mapping» — the processing of two - dimensional visual images through the eye,» said co-lead researcher Amir Amedi, associate professor of medical neurobiology at the Hebrew University's Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences and IMRIC, the Institute for Medical Research Israel - Cabrain» wiring may change greatly in the blind in its frontal language related parts, it still retains the most fundamental topographical and functional connectivity organizational principles of the visual cortex, known as «retinotopic mapping» — the processing of two - dimensional visual images through the eye,» said co-lead researcher Amir Amedi, associate professor of medical neurobiology at the Hebrew University's Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences and IMRIC, the Institute for Medical Research Israel - CaBrain Sciences and IMRIC, the Institute for Medical Research Israel - Canada.

The authors used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate connectivity in two brain networks involved in social processing: theory of mind (ToM, otherwise known as the mentalizing system, which allows an individual to infer what others are thinking, their beliefs, their intentions) and the mirror neuron system (MNS, which allows people to understand the meanings and actions of others by simulating and replicating them).

«Research indicates that the brain is functionally organized according to intrinsic connectivity networks, which are known to play a central role in specific facets of intelligence.

«As far as we know, this is one of the first studies of dyslexia to examine differences in functional connectivity across the whole brain, shedding light on the brain networks that crucially support the complex task of reading,» added Finn.

This theoretical consistency is important, as it allows researchers to better focus future studies of brain connectivity in schizophrenia, by targeting the brain regions known to be affected.

Intrinsic brain networks are comprised of remote regions that have correlated spontaneous activity seen in functional imaging, known as intrinsic functional connectivity (FC), that is remarkably persistent across distinct consciousness states.

During the resting brain scan, the treatment group also showed greater connectivity between a region known as the «periaqueductal grey» and areas of the prefrontal cortex associated with cognition.
