To investigate the relationships among regional activity of DMN in different hypercapnia affect using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). 10 healthy males were enrolled in this study. A high-resolution T1WI image and BOLD-EPI were performed by a 3 Tesla MR scanner. The CO2 gas mixture (air, 3%, 5% and 7%) was given at the different hypercanpic for each experiment. Our results show that the functional connectivity of DMN is changed in hypercapnia. FC is slight change in 3% CO2 fractions and gradual reduction as the CO2 fraction increases.
