In a routine clinical practice, fMRI plays an important
role ad non-invasive tool for pre-surgical functional
mapping of eloquent cortex. The standard approach is to
acquire fMRI data while the patient perform a task
designed to target a specific function. However there
are some limitations: the patients can have difficulty
in performing required tasks and the task-based
approaches may be unreliable. Functional mapping based
on spontaneous intrinsic activity, referred to as
resting state fMRI, offers a different option for
presurgical mapping. The aim of our study was to confirm
the important role that this methods could have in
clinical field.
