چکیده
Fig.1: t-score maps showing resting state correlations with PCC/preCun (p<0.05). Right column: significant differences between patients and controls. Tab.1: Brain regions correlating significantly (p<0.05) with PC/preCun in controls. Negative t-scores indicate anticorrelation. Tab.2: Brain regions correlating significantly (p<0.05) with PC/preCun in patients. Negative tscores indicate anti-correlation.

Resting-state functional connectivity in multiple sclerosis: an examination of group differences and individual differences.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative, inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, resulting in physical and cognitive disturbances. The goal of the current study was to examine the association between network integrity and composite measures of cognition and disease severity in individuals with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), relative to healthy controls. All participants under...
متن کاملResting state fMRI connectivity analysis as a tool for detection of abnormalities in five different cognitive networks of the brain in Multiple Sclerosis patients
Objectives Cognitive dysfunction is present in at least half of patients with Multiple Sclerosis. The purpose of this study was to examine functional connectivity abnormalities in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using resting state fMRI (rsfMRI). Methods Conventional MRI, rsfMRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data was acquired from 10 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple scler...
متن کاملAltered Inter-Subregion Connectivity of the Default Mode Network in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Functional and Structural Connectivity Study
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Little is known about the interactions between the default mode network (DMN) subregions in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). This study used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) to examine alterations of long white matter tracts in paired DMN subregions and their functional connectivity in RRMS patients. METHODS Twenty-...
متن کاملResting state networks change in clinically isolated syndrome.
Task-functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that early cortical recruitment exists in multiple sclerosis, which can partly explain the discrepancy between conventional magnetic resonance imaging and clinical disability. The study of the brain 'at rest' may provide additional information, because task-induced metabolic changes are relatively small compared to the energy use of ...
متن کاملRevisiting default mode network function in major depression: evidence for disrupted subsystem connectivity.
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by alterations in brain function that are identifiable also during the brain's 'resting state'. One functional network that is disrupted in this disorder is the default mode network (DMN), a set of large-scale connected brain regions that oscillate with low-frequency fluctuations and are more active during rest relative to a goal-direc...
