Different behaviors are driven by distinct neuronal networks within the brain. Identifying and understanding the connectivity within and between neuronal networks can allow scientists to understand the basis for a behavior. For example, in disease states such as post-traumatic stress disorder, it is possible to identify changes in the connectivity of neuronal networks that predict symptom severity.
This Research Topic aims to expand our knowledge of brain connectivity in regular and dysfunctional behaviors. Studies using data from both human and non-human participants are welcome. All article types accepted by the Journal can be contributed, and sub-topics of interest include:
• Examining brain connectivity in different internal states e.g emotion.
• Links between decision making and network connectivity.
• Changes in brain connectivity caused by addiction.
• Alterations in functional connectivity during ongoing behavior.
• Using connectivity patterns to predict future behavioral responses.
