Title: Altered Dynamic in Functional Connectivity Density in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Resting-State FMRI Study

We obtained resting-state fMRI data from ALS and healthy controls (HCs). We calculated the functional connectivity (FC) and the functional connection density (FCD) value. dFCD was assessed by sliding-window correlation method. The standard deviation of dFCD can measure dFCD variability. The dFCD variability was reduced in some brain region in HC group, whereas increase was observed in some brain region of ALS patients. dFCD variability can distinguish two groups. ALS patients exhibit aberrant dynamic property in brain functional architecture.Read More
