Chunk #31 — 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 occur concurrently with changes in resting state functional connectivity
Another commonly referenced postnatal event is myelination. As with synaptic pruning, myelination continues to occur through young adulthood. Increased myelination is thought to proceed from primary sensory and motor regions to association areas [68]–[71], roughly following the hierarchical organization introduced by Felleman and Van Essen [72] (Note that while the most frequently referenced neuroanatomical changes that occur throughout development have been highlighted here, there are several others that deserve consideration [62], [73]–[75]).
