Functional imaging studies in rodent have gained considerable momentum over the past years, holding the promise to provide a crucial translational tool to comprehend the functional signatures of the healthy and diseased brain. Mouse resting-state (rs-)fMRI has been adopted by numerous laboratories world-wide, yet, variations in equipment, animal handling and data analysis protocols render the comparison of results between studies difficult. We have carried out a multi-centre comparison comprising 12 mice rs-fMRI datasets analysed through a common pipeline and identified the major resting-state networks expressed across datasets. We provide a detailed investigation into the reproducibility and robustness of the protocols.
