The brain matures with stronger functional connectivity and decreased randomness of its network.

The brain matures with stronger functional connectivity and decreased randomness of its network.

We investigated the development of the brain's functional connectivity throughout the life span (ages 5 through 71 years) by measuring EEG activity in a large population-based sample. Connectivity was established with Synchronization Likelihood. Relative randomness of the connectivity patterns...
