Abstract As indicated by the concepts of dissociation and disconnection, which are two fundamental principles of neuropsychology, it is essential to decipher the communications between brain regions in addition to clarifying functional localization to understand the brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) initially aimed to clarify functional localization, but with the subsequent development of analytical methods, it has become possible to analyze functional connectivity between brain regions. The concept of functional brain networks, which is the theme of this issue, has been established through the analysis of large-scale functional connectivity using resting-state fMRI. In this paper, I review the findings of neuroscience research on functional brain networks and report on the dynamics of large-scale brain networks involved in long-term memory encoding, as revealed by our research.
Keywords fMRI, functional connectivity, functional brain networks, dynamic functional connectivity, memory encoding
