Chronic neuroinflammation, present in most neuropathologies, has long-term consequences on neurocircuit connectivity synchrony and strength. By implementing multi-modal techniques to quantify neuroinflammation, we found a strong association linking the intensity of neuroinflammation with depressed functional connectivity. We partly attribute these changes to neurodegeneration and the loss of central NE.
