This short survey the reviews recent literature on brain connectivity studies. It encompasses all forms of static and dynamic connectivitywhetheranatomical,functional,ore?ective.Thelastdecadehasseenaneverincreasingnumberofstudiesdevoted todeducefunctionalore?ectiveconnectivity,mostlyfromfunctionalneuroimagingexperiments.Restingstateconditionshave becomeadominantexperimentalparadigm,andanumberofrestingstatenetworks,amongthemtheprominentdefaultmode network,havebeenidenti?ed.Graphicalmodelsrepresentaconvenientvehicletoformalizeexperimental?ndingsandtoclosely andquantitativelycharacterizethevariousnetworksidenti?ed.Underlyingtheseabstractconceptsareanatomicalnetworks,the so-calledconnectome,whichcanbeinvestigatedbyfunctionalimagingtechniquesaswell.Futurestudieshavetobridgethegap betweenanatomicalneuronalconnectionsandrelatedfunctionalore?ectiveconnectivities. 1.BrainConnectivity—WhatItIsAllAbout arequitepersistentandstable,whileforlo
