The neurocognitive correlates of brain entropy estimated by resting state fMRI.

ABSTRACT: Resting state brain activity consumes most of brain energy, likely creating and maintaining a reserve of general brain functionality. The latent reserve if it exists may be reflected by the profound long-range fluctuations of resting brain activity. The long-range temporal coherence (LRTC) can be characterized by resting state fMRI (rsfMRI)-based brain entropy (BEN) mapping. While BEN mapping results have shown sensitivity to neuromodulations or disease conditions, the underlying neuromechanisms especially the associations of BEN or LRTC to neurocognition still remain unclear. To address this standing question and to test a novel hypothesis that resting BEN reflects a latent functional reserve through the link to general functionality, we mapped resting BEN of 862 young adults and comprehe
