    Arousal modulates functional connectivity through structured and hemispherically asymmetric community architecture during wakefulness

    Xiangyu Kong, Siyu Li, Gaolang Gong
    Rather than exerting a uniform influence, arousal modulates the connectome through a structured, low-dimensional community architecture characterized by discrete topological patterns and intrinsic hemispheric asymmetries.
