In recent years, a large amount of data was published about resting state networks (RSN), namely, continu- ously recorded brain activity in a state of quiet wakefulness. In particular, such states are reflected in the spa- tial maps of active regions of the brain, obtained by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). RSNs have stable and reproducible spatial structure over time in healthy subjects, but may differ substantially in clinical pathology. One of the important parameters of the brain activity is functional connectivity (FC) of individual elements within a network or between resting state networks. This review considers results of the studies focused at correlation of behavioral indicators and FC of brain areas activated during resting state. In addition, we describe data on reproducibility of RSN over time in healthy subjects, as well as data on changes in FC-of networks, depending on the individual experience.
