On the Central Role of Brain Connectivity in Neurodegenerative Disease Progression

On the Central Role of Brain Connectivity in Neurodegenerative Disease Progression

Increased brain connectivity, in all its variants, is often considered an evolutionary advantage by mediating complex sensorimotor function and higher cognitive faculties. Interaction among components at all spatial scales, including genes, proteins, neurons, local neuronal circuits and macroscopic...
