【 摘 要 】

Patterns of functional connectivity (FC) in the human brain are constrained by the structural connections between disparate brain areas (Honey et al., 2009). These structure-function links strengthen with age and have been proposed to underlie the development of diverse cognition and behavior during childhood and into adolescence (van den Heuvel et al., 2015). Yet, little is known about the causal lead-lag relationship between structural connectivity (SC) and FC in supporting the development of high-level cognitive functions.
