Functional connectivity in the motor cortex of resting human brain using echo-planar MRI.
An MRI time course of 512 echo-planar images (EPI) in resting human brain obtained every 250 ms reveals fluctuations in signal intensity in each pixel that have a physiologic origin. Regions of the sensorimotor cortex that were activated secondary to hand movement were identified using functional MRI methodology (FMRI). Time courses of low frequency (< 0.1 Hz) fluctuations in resting brain were...
متن کاملResting-state Functional Connectivity During Controlled Respiratory Cycles Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of controlled mouth breathing during the resting state using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods: Eleven subjects participated in this experiment in which the controlled “Nose” and “Mouth” breathings of 6 s respiratory cycle were performed with a visual cue at 3T MRI. Voxel-wise seed-to-voxel maps and whole-brain region of i...
متن کاملEvaluation of Model-Based Methods in Estimating Dynamic Functional Connectivity of Brain Regions
Today, neuroscientists are interested in discovering human brain functions through brain networks. In this regard, the evaluation of dynamic changes in functional connectivity of the brain regions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging data has attracted their attention. In this paper, we focus on two model-based approaches, called the exponential weighted moving average model and the d...

Sir, we would like to comment on a recent article published in Brain by Hacker et al. (2012), which reported functional connectivity alteration in 13 patients with Parkinson’s disease in the medicated state compared with healthy control subjects. Although the authors showed very interesting results, they could not disentangle the effects of levodopa within the patient group. We investigated the...
متن کاملCompulsive sexual behavior: Prefrontal and limbic volume and interactions
BACKGROUND Compulsive sexual behaviors (CSB) are relatively common and associated with significant personal and social dysfunction. The underlying neurobiology is still poorly understood. The present study examines brain volumes and resting state functional connectivity in CSB compared with matched healthy volunteers (HV). METHODS Structural MRI (MPRAGE) data were collected in 92 subjects (23...
