The spinal cord and brain form central
nervous system and sensory and motor signals are relayed by spinal cord and
processed by brain. Studies have suggested that resting state functional
connectivity (rsFC) are fundamental, common feature of the entire nervous
system. However, it still remain unknown the correlation between rsFCs within spinal
cord and brain. The present study discovered dorsal and ventral resting state
networks (RSNs) within spinal cord and sensory-motor RSN within brain. Further,
correlation analysis suggest that dorsal and ventral RSNs connected to sensory
and motor RSNs respectively.
