Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain

Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain by Maria Assunta Rocca and Massimo Filippi

Discover a definitive, accessible guide to the brain’s network architecture that bridges cutting-edge research and real-world clinical practice. This authoritative volume unpacks the principles and methods of functional connectivity—resting-state and task-related fMRI, network neuroscience, graph theory—and translates them into insights that clinicians, researchers, and advanced students can apply immediately.

Begin with a clear, compelling overview of why functional connectivity matters for understanding cognition, disease progression, and therapeutic response. The authors weave rigorous science with practical examples, making complex concepts approachable without sacrificing depth. You’ll find lucid explanations of analytic strategies, interpretation pitfalls, and best practices for reproducible neuroimaging research.

Imagine applying these tools in your own work: improving diagnostic precision for neurodegenerative and psychiatric conditions, designing smarter clinical trials, or generating publishable findings in translational neuroscience. The text emphasizes clinical relevance—multiple chapters focus on applications in multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, and mood disorders—so practitioners in neurology, psychiatry, and radiology worldwide can see immediate value.

Perfect for neuroscientists, imaging specialists, clinicians, and graduate students, this book serves as both a classroom resource and a reference for research labs and hospital departments. Written by internationally respected experts, it balances pedagogy with practical guidance to accelerate your mastery of the human connectome.

Advance your understanding of brain networks—add Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain to your professional library today and stay at the forefront of neuroimaging and clinical neuroscience.
