TLDR
It is concluded that correlation of low frequency fluctuations, which may arise from fluctuations in blood oxygenation or flow, is a manifestation of functional connectivity of the brain.
Abstract
An MRI time course of 512 echo-planar images (EPI) in resting human brain obtained every 250 ms reveals fluctuations in signal intensity in each pixel that have a physiologic origin. Regions of the sensorimotor cortex that were activated secondary to hand movement were identified using functional MRI methodology (FMRI). Time courses of low frequency (< 0.1 Hz) fluctuations in resting brain were observed to have a high degree of temporal correlation (P < 10(-3)) within these regions and also with time courses in several other regions that can be associated with motor function. It is concluded that correlation of low frequency fluctuations, which may arise from fluctuations in blood oxygenation or flow, is a manifestation of functional connectivity of the brain.

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease

TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

The human brain is intrinsically organized into dynamic, anticorrelated functional networks

TL;DR: It is suggested that both task-driven neuronal responses and behavior are reflections of this dynamic, ongoing, functional organization of the brain, featuring the presence of anticorrelated networks in the absence of overt task performance.

The organization of the human cerebral cortex estimated by intrinsic functional connectivity

TL;DR: In this paper, the organization of networks in the human cerebrum was explored using resting-state functional connectivity MRI data from 1,000 subjects and a clustering approach was employed to identify and replicate networks of functionally coupled regions across the cerebral cortex.

Spontaneous fluctuations in brain activity observed with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

TL;DR: Recent studies examining spontaneous fluctuations in the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal of functional magnetic resonance imaging as a potentially important and revealing manifestation of spontaneous neuronal activity are reviewed.

Functional Connectivity: The Principal-Component Analysis of Large (PET) Data Sets

TL;DR: The results suggest that the variance in neurophysiological measurements, introduced experimentally, was accounted for by two independent principal components and highlighted an intentional brain system seen in previous studies of verbal fluency.

Processing strategies for time-course data sets in functional mri of the human brain

TL;DR: The most effective method for image processing involves thresholding by shape as characterized by the correlation coefficient of the data with respect to a reference waveform followed by formation of a cross‐correlation image.

Supplementary motor area and other cortical areas in organization of voluntary movements in man

TL;DR: It is suggested that the supplementary motor areas are programming areas for motor subroutines and that these areas form a queue of time-ordered motor commands before voluntary movement are executed by way of the primary motor area.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of complex human movements

TL;DR: Six right-handed healthy subjects were scanned while they performed self-paced simple and complex finger movements with the right and left hands, and preliminary results are consistent with hierarchical models of voluntary motor control.
