Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea, Sungkyunkwan University and other institutions developed a neuroimaging analysis framework called integrated effective connectivity (iEC).
The approach aims to estimate how activity in one brain region influences activity in another, moving beyond the statistical associations produced by conventional fMRI analysis.
The work, published in Nature Neuroscience, includes a signal flow hierarchy map for the resting brain.
The team produced functional hierarchy maps for three states: movie watching, resting and tonic pain, and tracked state-dependent changes in hierarchy levels.

Researchers built the first cross-species brain map linking mouse and marmoset regions.
The map overcomes inconsistencies in existing brain atlases by focusing on leaf-level regions.
Marmosets serve as a bridge between mice and humans for neuroscience research.
This tool could improve translation of animal model findings to human medicine.
