Aim : Does autonomic nervous system impact on
resting-state functional connectivity ? Methods : We
acquired the heart rate variability as a measure of ANS
simultaneously with rs-fcMRI. We measured the
correlation between LF-component of HRV and each region
time-course. We measured the HRV impact on the
connectivity of each region with all other regions.
Results : We evidenced that the HRV correlates
negatively with the time-course of brain regions and
biases the connectivity measures between brain regions.
Conclusion : In rs-fcMRI, the impact of ANS has to be
taken into account for proper interpretation of results
from group studies.
