A Method to Estimate Longitudinal Change Patterns in Functional Network Connectivity of the Developing Brain Relevant to Psychiatric Problems, Cognition, and Age.

ABSTRACT: Aim: To develop an approach to evaluate multiple overlapping brain functional change patterns (FCPs) in functional network connectivity (FNC) and apply to study developmental changes in brain function. Introduction: FNC, the network analog of functional connectivity (FC), is commonly used to capture the intrinsic functional relationships among brain networks. Ongoing research on longitudinal changes of intrinsic FC across whole-brain functional networks has proven useful for characterizing age-related changes, but to date, there has been little focus on capturing multivariate patterns of FNC change with brain development. Methods: In this article, we introduce a novel approach to evaluate multiple overlapping FCPs by utilizing FNC matrices. We comp
