This year's neuroscience special issue is devoted to general and also several more specific aspects of research on connectivity in the brain.

The discovery of connectivity deficits in a specific region of the brain like the SLF provides an important starting point for more research on people with IED, as well as those with borderline personality disorder, who share similar social and emotional problems and appear to have the same abnormality in the SLF.

Autism and other specific mental disorders may be caused in part by «specific circuits or regions of the brain [that] had problems with connectivity,» Krienen says.

«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.

Most prominent effects between IQ and the level of global connectivity efficiency (as expressed by a shorter node specific normalized path length) were found in the medial prefrontal cortex (yellow box), bilateral inferior parietal cortex (red box depicts effect in right hemisphere), and precuneus / posterior cingulate regions (orange box) of the functional brain network.

Our data reflects the level of efficient organization of the functional brain network during a resting state and not the efficiency of functional connectivity between brain regions during the performance of specific cognitive tasks that enter into the IQ score.

Long - lasting changes in brain connectivity require new gene expression, and Dr. Martin has discovered a role for specific signaling molecules that travel from stimulated synapses to the nucleus to change the transcription of DNA to RNA.

An important area for future work will be to understand functional connectivity abnormalities in ASD at the global level, across the whole brain, as well as in specific functional networks or sets of nodes.

Central adaptations might involve the reduction of the eccentric - specific voluntary activation deficit, perhaps by either increased net excitability of the spinal reflex pathway, or by increased motor learning through increased functional connectivity between the primary motor cortex and other parts of the brain.

The study essentially correlates specific patterns of brain connectivity — the degree to which different parts of the human brain talk to each other — with a suite of what are generally considered positive traits, such as education, income, and self - control.
