Functional reconfiguration between rest and movie watching relates to theory-of-mind performance among young and older adults
Abstract. Functional connectivity among macroscale brain networks is minimally modified across rest and task states, suggesting a shared functional archite

Recently I (& @richardfbetzel.bsky.social et al.) asked how much does functional connectivity change (i.e., reconfigure) between rest and narrative movie-watching in young and older adults? And does that relate to how well people understood those narratives? Answers here: doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

Why do brain networks vary? Do these differences shape behavior? If every 🧠 is unique, how can we detect common features of brain organization?
