The technique, called functional connectivity MRI, shows which parts of the brain are communicating.

这项新技术被称为功能连通性MRI。 它能告诉我们大脑的哪些部分之间正在通信。

So researchers have been testing an approach to brain assessment that relies on functional connectivity MRI.

Dosenbach接着说，研究人员一直在测试一种基于功能连通性的MRI的方式去评估大脑。

"I think functional connectivity can tell us a lot about the brain mechanisms that ultimately explain why children and adolescents with autism behave in the way they do," Muller says.

“我认为功能性连接能告诉我们很多大脑的机制，并将最终解释患有自闭症的儿童和青少年的特定行为的原因。”Muller说。

And secondly we are looking at functional connectivity - how strongly two brain regions are linked across time and activity.
