Brain Connectivity Studies on Structure-Function Relationships: A Short Survey with an Emphasis on Machine Learning

Figure 4

Structural connectivity (SC), like that derived from DTI, can be included to describe the couplings of nodes (anatomical areas) in a neurodynamical model, constraining the neural dynamics. The emerging functional connectivity (FC) patterns of the model can then be compared to the empirical FC obtained by fMRI (adapted from Deco et al. [84]).
