Tonight on the Resting State Network... (updated version)


You've seen the short version of Resting State Network (by NeuroImage)... Are you ready for the full length version (with better sound)? Relive Cluster Analysis, Le Septième Jour and more! And prepare yourself for the riveting Dr. Kitao Sakurai, Resting-State Analyst...




"It changed my life. It got me off the streets."

- Florian Baron



[Somewhat] Related: Functional Network Organization of the Human Brain (Power et al., 2011):

Highlights
  • Areal and modified voxelwise graph definitions are proposed
  • Subgraphs reflect known and unknown brain systems
  • Default mode, sensory, and motor systems share network properties
  • Functional systems are patterned across the cortex with spatial regularities




Starring Dr. Steve Petersen and Jonathan Power.
As seen in Neuron, Volume 72, Issue 4, 665-678, 17 November 2011.




- Resting-state Brain Networks Are Stable
The world doesn't stop when night falls. From rabbits to night-club bouncers, there's a whole cast of nocturnal characters who come out to play. It's a similar story with the brain. When we disengage from the outside world, the brain doesn't...

- Resting Brain Activity May Be Involved In Motor Learning
Most brain imaging experiments tend to follow a similar pattern - instruct the participant to perform some task, or show them a picture, or play them a sound, and then see which areas of their brain light up. This approach has propagated a misconception...

- The New Neuroscience Party Game: Six Degrees Of Steve Petersen
A new article in PNAS identified two distinct task-control networks by "applying graph theory to resting state functional connectivity MRI data" (Dosenbach et al., 2007). A press release from Washington University in St. Louis includes this quote from...

- Default Mode Or Detritus?
Should we discard the concept of a "Resting State" of the brain? NO: ["default mode" aka daydreaming] Malia F. Mason, Michael I. Norton, John D. Van Horn, Daniel M. Wegner, Scott T. Grafton, C. Neil Macrae (2007). Wandering Minds: The Default Network...
