Brain functional connectivity dynamics at rest in the aftermath of affective and cognitive challenges

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Gwladys Rey, Julian Gaviria

Carry-over effects on brain states have been reported following emotional and cognitive events, persisting even during subsequent rest. Here, we investigated such effects by identifying recurring co-activation patterns (CAPs) in neural networks at rest wit ...
