Structural control energy of resting-state functional brain states reveals less cost-effective brain dynamics in psychosis vulnerability

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Marie Schaer

How the brain's white-matter anatomy constrains brain activity is an open question that might give insights into the mechanisms that underlie mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a neurodevelopmental dis ...
