Abstract
Introduction to Research Topic – Brain Connectivity Analysis: Investigating Brain Disorders. Part 1: The Review Articles
Highlights
Certain types of connectivity analyses have become very popular recently [e.g., resting state fMRI functional connectivity – see the special topics issue of Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience edited by Uddin and Menon (2010)], we have chosen to cover articles that represent the broadest possible set of connectivity methods, employing the widest possible spectrum of imaging techniques, and applied to the full range of neurological, psychiatric, and developmental disorders
The review articles can be roughly divided into (1) those that focus on a connectivity method, and use one or more disorders to illustrate the method, and (2) those whose emphasis is placed on a particular disorder, and discuss a number of relevant functional and structural connectivity studies investigating the disorder
In transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an externally applied changing magnetic field is used to induce electrical stimulation in a cortical brain area which propagates through long-range connections to other brain regions
