TL;DR: It is shown that the symptom dimensions of mood, psychosis, fear and externalizing behavior exhibit unique patterns of functional dysconnectivity, delineate connectivity-guided dimensions of psychopathology that cross clinical diagnostic categories, which could serve as a foundation for developing network-based biomarkers in psychiatry.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that structure–function coupling in rostrolateral prefrontal cortex supports age-related improvements in executive ability, and marked remodeling of structure– function coupling in youth is documented, which aligns with cortical hierarchies of functional specialization and evolutionary expansion.

TL;DR: It is found that the functional topography of association networks is refined with age, allowing accurate prediction of unseen individuals' brain maturity and suggest advances in personalized therapeutics.

TL;DR: Canonical correlation analysis is a prototypical family of methods that is useful in identifying the links between variable sets from different modalities and so is well suited to the analysis of big neuroscience datasets.

TL;DR: The systematic impact of head motion is delineated, and age‐related differences in head motion can both inflate and obscure developmental inferences on structural connectivity, and provide a critical context for identifying motion‐related confounds in studies of structural brain network development.
