Resting state fMRI (RS-fMRI; fcMRI) • Physiological underpinnings • Methodology • Areas of investigation, some results • Unresolved questions • Z. Snyder • July 20, 2010
Why study the resting state? Conventional task-related fMRI images the representation of cognitive processes (e.g., “attention”, “control”, “perception”) the identity of which is presumed to be known. Resting state studies target intrinsic activity, i.e., internal communication within the brain without a priori assignment of psychological labels.

fcMRI: imaging the spatial structure of spontaneous (intrinsic) BOLD fluctuations. • Two principal techniques: • Seed-ROI-based correlation mapping • Spatial ICA
Algebraic formulae for fcMRI maps regression image: I(x)f(x)=f(t)I(x,t)/2f correlation image: rI(x)f(x)=f(t)I(x,t)/[fI(x)] Fisher z-transform: zI(x)f(x) =0.5ln[(1+ rf(x))/(1- rf(x))] = tanh-1(rI(x)f(x))

rCBF and the BOLD signal unequivocally reflect neuronal acitvity, specifically [gamma-band] LFPs and slow cortical potentials (SCPs). That said, fMRI signals are contaminated by physiological artifacts, i.e., spurious (non-neuronal) sources of variance: pCO2 fluctuations cardiac and respiratory pulsations eye movements head motion Critical point: This spurious variance cannot be reduced simply by averaging, as in conventional fMRI.

Uses of fcMRI • investigate normal physiology - intrinsic (not task-evoked) neural activity at the systems level • topographic of organization (RSNs) • relation to conventional fMRI • relation to WM tracts • development, aging • arousal state, anesthesia, cognitive state • pathophysiology of disease • effects of experience and training
