Exploring Dynamic Connectivity Biomarkers of Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Trends Cogn Sci. 2021 May;25(5):336-338. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2021.03.005. Epub 2021 Mar 12.

Abstract

A recent study by Lee et al. showed that a dynamic functional connectivity pattern induced by tonic experimental pain might serve as a biomarker of chronic pain. The study illustrates key topics in translational neuroscience: the differentiation of biomarker functions, the multimodal integration of biomarkers, and the functional relevance of dynamic connectivity.

Keywords: EEG; biomarker; brain; connectivity; fMRI; pain.
