Abstract

Brain Network Architecture and Plasticity: MR Neuroimaging Perspectives.

Highlights

The brain network architecture and plasticity patterns vary across different brain developmental periods, learning activities, and disease effects
It aims to broaden the attention to the researchers who are currently working on these areas but to the general scientific audience who are interested in the brain structures and functions as well. This special issue includes eleven papers that presented an up-to-date progress of MR neuroimaging methods on brain network architecture and plasticity investigation employing various neuroimaging modalities: structural MRI, diffusion MRI, and functional MRI
Differences in functional connectivity both between states and between timepoints were assessed and reveal functional specificity of plastic reconfiguration of key networks implied in MDD

Summary

Introduction

The brain network architecture and plasticity patterns vary across different brain developmental periods, learning activities, and disease effects. This special issue is intended to stimulate the continuing efforts in understanding the architecture and plasticity patterns of brain networks. This special issue includes eleven papers that presented an up-to-date progress of MR neuroimaging methods on brain network architecture and plasticity investigation employing various neuroimaging modalities: structural MRI, diffusion MRI, and functional MRI.
