Brain networks for emotion and cognition: Implications and tools for understanding mental disorders and pathophysiology

Luiz Pessoa. Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

Understanding how structure maps to function in the brain in terms of large-scale networks is critical to elucidating the brain basis of mental phenomena and mental disorders. Given that this mapping is many-to-many, I argue that researchers need to shift to a multivariate brain and behavior characterization to fully unravel the contributions of brain processes to typical and atypical function.
