Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) has provided more information than commonly-used static FC analysis. With dFC, we investigated the variation characteristics of three affected resting state networks, i.e., DMN, CEN and SN, in trauma-exposed non-PTSD group using resting state fMRI scans within 25 days and 2 years after Wenchuan earthquake. Results revealed increased connectivity was mainly involved in intra-network FC of DMN and inter-network FC between SN and DMN/CEN. Decreased connectivity was mostly found in intra-network FC of CEN and inter-network FC between CEN and SN. This study may provide insights of how people recover from extreme life stress from a FC variation perspective.
