"Functional disconnection" is a term created for Brain Balance Centers by Gerald "Gerry" Leisman and Robert Melillo to promote their product (supplements) and their business. There is no diagnosis of "functional disconnection" in medicine. This Wikipedia article needs to be deleted.

I am rather perplexed by the comments regarding functional disconnectivity as a pseudoscience. The fact that one group in the world seems to be making some rather strange medical claims about the concept should not detract from the exploration of functional connectivity.
To make this clearer - there is a broad hypothesis within psychiatry and experimental psychology that some conditions are associated with changes in the temporal relationship between activity in different regions of the brain, and there is an extensive literature exploring this. This is what most of the world means by functional connectivity and disconnectivity. This does not mean changes in connectivity are the cause (rather than the result) of the conditions, nor that it is rational to target any kind of treatment at connectivity, nor even that such treatment is possible (let alone a specific treatment).
It is perfectly reasonable to criticise trying to medicalise something that is not, conceptually, a medical condition, but this does not mean that the underlying idea that patterns of regional brain co-activity can become measurably different in certain disease conditions is itself pseudoscience.
I propose this article be re-written to clarify the difference between a valid scientific concept, and one group's attempt to apply the concept in a rather odd way, before removing the pseudoscience from the article as a whole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.106.240.194 ( talk) 13:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
