I just read a paper by Lee & Telzer titled "Negative functional coupling between the right fronto-parietal and limbic resting state networks predicts increased self-control and later substance use onset in adolescence" accepted for publication in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. I understand the findings, but conceptually I am unclear exactly what negative functional coupling represents.
There are several interpretations of this phrase. Select one of the aspects of the physiological.
First, reverse coupling is between the brain structures can be positive or negative. Secondly, if the coupling is negative, the result is the reverse influences functional structure activity decreases. If the coupling is positive, the functional activity of the structure increases.
