Important Brain Networks

By leveraging Connectomics to trace functional connectivity, seven large-scale brain networks have been identified. These networks have the most dominance over cortical function in the brain, and each serves an overarching common function. While some networks are familiar, many networks, and their constituents, are newly discovered¹.

These major networks control brain function both during task processing and while at rest. The brain’s neural networks have a hierarchy to their operation, and they integrate and synchronize to carry out `complex functions`.
