However, there are some interesting nuances to this trend that deserve mention. For instance, not all short-range functional connections decrease in strength over age (Figure 5A and 5B and Figure S4A and S4B). While few, some of the short-range functional connections, typically those in the same network, increase in strength over age (Figure 5A and Figure S4A). Similarly, although many long-range functional connections increase in strength, many others do not statistically change across development (Figure 5C and,5D and Figure S4C and S4D, grey connections).
