Dynamic Neural Network Changes Revealed by Voxel-Based Functional Connectivity Strength in Left Basal Ganglia Ischemic Stroke

Objective This study intends to track whole-brain functional connectivity strength (FCS) changes and lateralization index (LI) in left basal ganglia (BG) ischemic stroke patients. Methods Twenty-five patients (N=25; aged 52.73±10.51 years) with five visits at 0.05). Conclusion Focal ischemic stroke in the left BG leads to extensive alterations in the FCS. Strong plasticity in the functional networks could be reorganized in different temporal dynamics to facilitate motor recovery after BG stroke, contribute to diagnosing the disease course and estimate the intervention treatment.
