Eli J. Cornblath et al use tools from linear network control theory to show that white matter connectivity constrains transitions between brain activity patterns at rest to favor transitions with small energy requirements, while visual inputs overcome these constraints during a cognitive task. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for both internal white matter network dynamics and external inputs in models of brain activity.
