This study challenges the idea that the rich club controls brain dynamics, showing low-degree regions are more effective in controlling the human connectome across various brain states and parameters.

The paper identifies reduced functional connectivity in a neural network related to pain processing in major depressive disorder using fMRI during heat pain stimulation.

The paper shows working memory involves brain-wide state switching, with dopamine D1/D2 receptor expression affecting stability and state transitions, and schizophrenia linked to altered network control properties.

The paper uses generative network models to identify spatial and topological mechanisms underlying altered structural brain connectivity in schizophrenia and its relatives.
