Abstract

How are functions of the human cerebral cortex spatially arranged? Despite the recent transformational focus on structural and functional connectivity in cognitive neuroscience, cortical functions continue to be ascribed to discrete areas and networks. This chapter presents an emerging perspective for how cortical organization can be parsimoniously described by spatial gradients in patterns of connectivity, which provides a framework for understanding functional processing streams and large-scale cortical hierarchies.
