"INCREASED FUNCTIONAL BRAIN CONNECTIVITY" sounds pretty neat. Instead of debating why the brain is or is not like a computer. Or why you or your sister-in-law's brain is addled by mental illness. Let's frame this optimistically, hopefully. Maybe there's a genius working that study or commenting here. Geniuses think different.
