Summary
Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) offers a reliable, noninvasive method for mapping brain networks, aiding preoperative planning for neurosurgery. This technique overcomes limitations of task-based fMRI, enabling broader clinical applications beyond surgical guidance.
Area of Science:
- Neuroimaging
- Brain Network Analysis
- Clinical Neuroscience
Background:
- Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) is established for studying brain's intrinsic connectivity.
- Clinical use includes preoperative planning for neurosurgery, mapping language and motor systems.
- Electrocortical stimulation (ECS) is standard, but noninvasive mapping offers advantages.
