Structural brain connectivity forms a sparse and directed graph.
It is commonly assumed that functional brain connectivity reflects
structural brain connectivity.
Convergent findings of altered functional and
structural brain connectivity in individuals with high functioning autism: a multimodal MRI Study.
In a study of
structural brain connectivity led by the University of Illinois at Chicago and UCLA, those participants with anorexia nervosa who scored lowest on a test measuring their ability to form insight had more connective abnormalities than other patients in brain regions linked to error detection and conflict monitoring as well as self - reflection.
However, the association between BOLD variability and
structural brain connectivity is not well understood.

Structural and functional
connectivity changes in the
brain associated with shyness but not with social anxiety.
Connectomics not only maps the circuitry of the links and nodes, the so - called
structural connectivity of the

connectivity.
Functionally linked resting - state networks reflect the underlying
structural connectivity architecture of the human

Neuroimaging methods provide a powerful tool to investigate
brain connectivity, and have been widely applied to study the mutual relationship between
structural and functional connections between
brain regions in healthy subjects and in patients.
The underpinnings of the abnormal relationship between
structural and functional
connectivity in this and other
brain disorders are unknown, and their investigation may provide insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and possibly into compensatory mechanisms that may promote recovery of functional
connectivity in case of congenital or acquired white matter loss.
The ability to quantitatively compare
structural and functional
connectivity would be important to assess the relationship between these two measures of interregional connections in the healthy
brain and in diseased states.

structural connectivity in the late developing human
brain.
Relationships between functional and

brain study showed that the emergence of
structural connectivity moved generally from posterodorsal to anteroventral regions in infants aged between 17 to 40 weeks post-conception [47].
These findings suggest that these subgroups may differ in
brain function and structure, but an open question is whether they also differ in terms of
structural connectivity.
