Structural connectivity refers to the physical connections between different parts of the brain, including the pathways made up of nerve fibers that link various regions. These connections allow different areas of the brain to communicate and work together to process information, control movements, and support cognitive functions. Investigating structural connectivity helps researchers understand how the brain is wired, how it develops, and how changes in these connections can relate to various neurological disorders or cognitive abilities. In essence, it’s about understanding the brain's wiring and its impact on function and behavior.
