Visuomotor training induces network reorganisation of frontal eye field and cuneus connectivity: A task-based fMRI study
revealed significantly increased connectivity between the FEF and posterior occipital cortex, and between the cuneus and cerebellar regions. Crucially, these changes were dose-dependent, showing a significant association with individual improvements in reaction time, highlighting a functional link between network reorganisation and behavioural gains.These findings provide novel evidence that short-term training enhances consolidated, task-specific FC across sensory-motor and attentional hubs. They complement earlier reports of task-based activation and microstructural plasticity in the same cohort and brain areas, establishing task-based FC as a sensitive, functional marker of learning-induced brain adaptation across the entire dorsal attentional-motor circuit.
