Abstract

Resting-state functional connectivity is the synchronization of brain regions with each another. Alterations are suggestive of neurologic or psychological disorders. This article discusses methods and approaches used to describe resting-state brain connectivity and the results in neurotypical and diseased brains.

Keywords: Functional MR imaging; Neurologic disease; Resting-state functional connectivity.
