The role of Long-Range Connectivity for the Characterization of the Functional-Anatomical Organization of the Cortex

This review focuses on the role of long-range connectivity as one element of brain structure that is of key importance for the functional-anatomical organization of the cortex.In this context, we discuss the putative guiding principles for mapping brain function and structure onto the cortical surface.Such mappings reveal a high-degree of functiona
