Abstract
Over the past 20 years, neuroimaging has become a predominant technique in systems
neuroscience. One might envisage that over the next 20 years the neuroimaging of distributed
processing and connectivity will play a major role in disclosing the brain's functional
architecture and operational principles. The inception of this journal has been foreshadowed
by an ever-increasing number of publications on functional connectivity, causal modeling,
connectomics, and multivariate analyses of distributed patterns of brain responses.
I accepted the invitation to write this review with great pleasure and hope to celebrate
and critique the achievements to date, while addressing the challenges ahead.
