Brain networks communicate through anatomical connections which are thought to mediate flexible, state-dependent interactions. We call the resulting pattern of communication “effective” or “functional” connectivity. In the motor system, within-day learning may rely primarily on modulation of networks, although the source of this modulation is unclear [1]. Over longer timescales, changes in anatomical connectivity can shape behavior through processes like Hebbian plasticity [2]. Understanding how these mechanisms combine to shape learning will require measurements of anatomical and functional c
