Metabolic brain networks switch between a sparsely connected baseline and highly integrated states to support cognition
The human brain achieves cognitive flexibility by rapidly switching between large-scale functional network states.
The human brain achieves cognitive flexibility by rapidly switching between large-scale functional network states. While network state switching is assumed to be an energetically demanding process, the direct metabolic and neurochemical foundation underpinning state switching…
