Frequency-based brain network analysis on rsfcMRI may offer new insights into frequency dependence of brain functional network. In this study, healthy pediatric subjects at age of 2 wks to 2 yrs were recruited and rsfMRI was obtained, aiming to delineate the emerging and developing trajectory of brain functional connectivity at different frequencies of interest in a critical time period of early brain development.
