Overview

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is a neuroimaging technique that measures spontaneous fluctuations in brain activity while a person is at rest, without performing any specific task. By detecting correlated patterns of the blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal across brain regions, rs-fMRI reveals functional connectivity, the networks of regions that activate together, and provides a window into the brain's intrinsic organization. It is widely used in neuroscience and clinical research to study healthy brain networks and to investigate how connectivity is altered in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Within Neurological Research and Therapy, functional connectivity analysis supports the study of brain organization and its disruption in disease. Research published in the journal includes a dynamic network analysis of functional connectivity in dementia that examines temporal patterns and their therapeutic implications, as well as feasibility work on detecting the brain areas involved in extreme physiological challenges through functional imaging. Together these contributions illustrate how connectivity-based imaging is applied to understand brain function and dysfunction. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to resting-state functional MRI and functional connectivity, offering an evidence-based resource for readers interested in how the brain's networks are mapped and how they change in disease.
