'''Cortical connectivity''' refers to the degree to which different subunits of the [[cerebral cortex]] are linked to each other via [[nerve fibre]]s. This interconnectivity is crucial for performing complex [[cognitive]] functions, and alterations of it are thought to be underlying diseases like [[schizophrenia]].
