Explicación de conectividad funcional

Functional connectivity refers to the temporal synchrony of activity in spatially separate regions or networks of the brain. It assesses whether regions, such as the frontal cortex and the visual cortex, exhibit fluctuations in activity that occur in sync over time. Even if these regions are anatomically distinct and lack direct synaptic connections, they can still be regarded as functionally connected if their activity patterns rise and fall together. The examination of functional connectivity can vary based on how the brain is divided into individual spatial segments, leading to different methods of sampling this connectivity.
