“…Advances in neuroimaging techniques and the recent availability of high-quality ExtA anatomical masks (Theiss, Ridgewell, McHugo, Heckers, & Blackford, 2017;Tillman et al, 2018;Torrisi et al, 2015;Tyszka & Pauli, 2016), have enabled several studies to use intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) mapping of task-free functional magnetic resonance imaging (tf-fMRI) data to examine how ExtA activity is correlated with activity in other regions under resting conditions (Table 1) (Avery et al, 2014;Gorka, Torrisi, Shackman, Grillon, & Ernst, 2018;Hofmann & Straube, 2019;Motzkin et al, 2015;Oler et al, 2012;Tillman et al, 2018;Torrisi et al, 2015Torrisi et al, , 2019Weis et al, 2019). This analysis approach allows researchers to identify "intrinsic connectivity networks" (ICNs) which can serve as an estimate of the brain's functional architecture at rest (Kelly & Castellanos, 2014;Seeley et al, 2007).…”
