Brain Functional Connectivity (FC) is a measure of how different brain regions communicate with each other or work together to perform different cognitive tasks. FC is being used by researchers to identify abnormal patterns of connectivity in people with neurological disorders. For example, people with schizophrenia often have abnormal functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the rest of the brain. I mention this because there are obvious analogies here to work and communication in organizations. Individuals in different groups, teams, units, departments, functions, etc. communicate with one another and work together to perform different tasks. Research on intra-organizational networks has shown that the structure of connections matters for important outcomes. I'm going to dig around in this research when time permits to find out which brain connectivity structures are considered to be abnormal and/or are associated with sub-par cognitive performance. Will let you know if I find anything! #connections #connectivity #brainfunction #brainscience #cognitivescience #socialnetworkanalysis #organizationalnetworkanalysis #organizationstructure
