## Cortical activity is mirrored between the hemispheres ##
|
|
|
|
* Inter hemispheric functional connectivity, importance for autism, schizophrenia. Maybe an activity-dependent mechanism for commisural connectivity.
|
|
* Activity correlated in anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions
|
|
* Mirror symmetric and non-mirror symmetric patterns
|
|
* Regional effects, more corr anticorr in certain regions?
|
|
* State dependent corr?
|
|
|
|
<!--
|
|
* sensory input required or stimulation experiments?
|
|
* Each hemisphere 'training' the other one in preparation for behaviorally relevant sensory-motor imitations '[[mirror_neurons]]' hypothesis? -->

**Conclusions:** So the activity in both hemispheres at postnatal day 3 (P3) clearly exhibits significant spatial correlations in both in the medial-lateral and anterior-extent. This is consistent with and complementary to the fact that the active pixel fraction in each hemisphere exhibits a strong temporal correlation as I found earlier in this report [Temporal correlation of activity][]. The medial-lateral positional correlation is stronger than the anterior-posterior (higher *R* and lower *p* value). The total number of coactive frames is `numel(y1(~isnan(y1)&~isnan(y2)))` == **1114 frames**. This is accounts to **37.13%** of the movie or **222.8 s**. Cortex.L had 1635 actvFrames and cortex.R had 1677 actvFrames which means that each hemisphere was coactive with the other hemisphere 1114/1635 == **68.13%** and 1114/1677 == **66.43%** of the active time respectively.
