Interhemispheric functional connectivity can be modeled
with a new technique called functional homotopy. We
acquired resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) in two pediatric
patients following corpus callosotomy (severing the
corpus callosum) for treatment of refractory epilepsy.
We calculated homotopy and compared their data to a
control dataset to determine differences. We find global
changes in interhemispheris connectivity due to the
severing of the corpus callosum.
