  "summary": "Characterizing directed connections between brain regions is fundamental for understanding the brains network organization and how it supports cognitive processes. However, a reliable methodology allowing assessment of effective connectivity (EC) at the whole-brain level and across high-resolution parcellations has remained elusive. This limitation reflects a trade-off between model detail and…",
