Contribution of Exploratory Methods to the Investigation of Extended Large-Scale Brain Networks in Functional MRI: Methodologies, Results, and Challenges
A large-scale brain network can be defined as a set of segregated and integrated regions, that is, distant regions that share strong anatomical connections and functional interactions.

| Summary: | A large-scale brain network can be defined as a set of segregated and integrated
regions, that is, distant regions that share strong anatomical connections
and functional interactions. Data-driven investigation of such networks has
recently received a great deal of attention in blood-oxygen-level-dependent
(BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We here review the
rationale for such an investigation, the methods used, the results obtained,
and also discuss some issues that have to be faced for an efficient exploration. |
