Brain Connectivity for Diagnosis and Treatment

Estimation of brain connectivity, as a brain mapping technique, has become increasingly important in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Understanding how different regions of the brain communicate with each other provides valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of these conditions. Brain connectivity includes structural connectivity and functional connectivity and can be utilized in various scenarios for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of mental disorders. This editorial briefly presents structural and functional brain connectivity and some of their applications.
