Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores the application of network neuroscience in studying brain plasticity—the brain’s ability to change in response to new experiences. Advances in non invasive neuroimaging techniques have allowed researchers to map the connectivity of the human brain, providing insights into how different brain regions communicate. Network neuroscience, an interdisciplinary field that combines network science and neuroscience, offers a promising approach to understanding the structural and functional brain network changes underlying plasticity. The chapter begins by discussing the fundamentals of network neuroscience methods and the potential challenges in brain plasticity research. It covers various topics, including structural and functional connectivity, dynamic functional connectivity, brain parcellations, resting-state and task-based functional connectivity, and network measures. Later it reviews some recent studies that have utilized the network neuroscience approach to investigate brain plasticity in areas like skill acquisition and changes across the life span. Finally, the chapter presents potential challenges and limitations of using network neuroscience to study brain plasticity, along with suggestions for future research directions and open questions in this exciting field.
