Information processing in the human brain arises from both interactions between adjacent areas and from distant projections that form distributed brain systems. Here we map interactions across different spatial scales by estimating the degree of intrinsic functional connectivity for the local (≤14 mm) neighborhood directly surrounding brain regions as contrasted with distant (>14 mm) interactions. The balance between local and distant functional interactions measured at rest forms a map that separates sensorimotor cortices from heteromodal association areas and further identifies regions that possess both high local and distant cortical-cortical interactions. Map estimates of network measures demonstrate that high local connectivity is most often associated with a high clustering coefficient, long path length, and low physical cost. Task performance changed the balance between local and distant functional coupling in a subset of regions, particularly, increasing local functional coupling in regions engaged by the task. The observed properties suggest that the brain has evolved a balance that optimizes information-processing efficiency across different classes of specialized areas as well as mechanisms to modulate coupling in support of dynamically changing processing demands. We discuss the implications of these observations and applications of the present method for exploring normal and atypical brain function. Information processing in the human brain arises from both interactions between adjacent brain areas and from distant projections that form distributed systems. Here we estimated functional connectivity profiles in the human brain using a novel approach to map the regional balance between local and distant functional connectivity. We discovered that the human brain exhibits distinct connectivity profiles across regions with primary sensory and motor areas displaying preferential local connectivity and heteromodal association areas displaying preferential distant connectivity. These findings expand our knowledge of how the human brain has specialized its architecture to optimize processing efficiency and provides an approach to measure, in individuals, the degree to which the typical balance of local and distant connectivity is present.
