Structural-functional brain network coupling during cognitive demand reveals intelligence-relevant communication strategies by Johanna L. Popp, Jonas A. Thiele, Joshua Faskowitz, Caio Seguin, Olaf Sporns, Kirsten Hilger

“…Using diffusion-weighted and functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 764 participants of the Human Connectome Project (replication: N 1  = 126, N 2  = 180), we model SC-FC coupling with similarity and communication measures that capture functional interactions unfolding on top of structural brain networks. By accounting for variations in brain region-specific neural signaling strategies, we show that individual differences in SC-FC coupling patterns predict individual intelligence scores. …”
