The phenomenon of neurovascular uncoupling (NVU) is a limitation of clinical fMRI, particularly in presurgical mapping. A previous study using task-based motor activation (tbfMRI) and breath hold cerebrovascular reactivity (BH CVR) mapping demonstrated that BH CVR was capable of detecting NVU in low-grade perirolandic tumors. In this study we demonstrated the effect of NVU on resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) data within the sensorimotor network through comparison to both BH CVR and task-based fMRI data.
