Abstract

Human brain function depends on efficient integration of distributed neural activity across a complex patchwork of interconnected areas. Network approaches are providing new insights into the functional architecture of the human brain. This article summarizes recent progress in our understanding of functional brain networks, highlights six major principles of large-scale brain organization, and describes how the brain's intrinsic functional architecture influences and constrains information processing.

    Second, we further characterized cross-network interactions in each brain state using a brain state-specific network interaction index (NII). The NII is a parsimonious metric based on the triple-network model (Menon and Uddin, 2010, Menon, 2015), which suggests that the SN plays a critical role in allocating cognitive resource by switching its interaction with the FPN and DMN. The SN and FPN are co-activated during high demanding cognitive task whereas the DMN is decoupled from the SN and FPN and is anti-correlated with both the SN and FPN (Cai et al., 2018, Supekar et al., 2019).
