Cortical synergistic information transmission is associated with obesity-related differences in working memory through different interaction patterns
Behavioral and Brain Functions
A well-designed cross-sectional analysis of large-scale resting-state fMRI data using an information-theoretic framework reports associations between BMI, synergistic brain connectivity, and working memory performance with modest effect sizes; the findings are mechanistic and need prospective or intervention validation.
