Chunk #36 — Discussion — rs-fcMRI may reflect an interaction between the maturing neural substrate and the use of efficient pathways for general task completion — Changes in the neural substrate over development may lead to more efficient neural pathways for general task completion
We note that recent results in the aging literature suggest that many of the trajectories observed in the current manuscript continue inversely with advancing age [24],[78]. That is, with aging, the functional organization, revealed via rs-fcMRI, becomes less distributed and more local. Thus the dynamic interactions we describe here likely continue as part of normal senescence [78].
