Functional connectivity patterns predict naturalistic viewing versus rest across development.

ABSTRACT: Cognitive states, such as rest and task engagement, share an 'intrinsic' functional network organization that is subject to minimal variation over time and yields stable signatures within an individual. Importantly, there are also transient state-specific functional connectivity (FC) patterns that vary across neural states. Here, we examine functional brain organization differences that underlie distinct states in a cross-sectional developmental sample. We compare FC fMRI data acquired during naturalistic viewing (i.e., movie-watching) and resting-state paradigms in a large cohort of 157 children and young adults aged 6-20. Naturalistic paradigms are commonly implemented in pediatric research because they maintain the child's attention and contribute to reduced head motion. It remains unkn
