From: The role of resting-state functional MRI for clinical preoperative language mapping
Successful resting-state fMRI after no task-based fMRI activation. Post-contrast axial T1 image (a) shows a left frontal glioblastoma (arrow). Task-based fMRI (b) demonstrates no BOLD activation in left anterior language area and robust BOLD activation related to the sentence completion paradigm (yellow) and category fluency paradigm (pink) in left Wernicke’s area (curved arrow). Resting-state fMRI (c) with seed placement in Wernicke’s area at site of task-based BOLD activation (dashed arrow) results in robust functional connectivity to left Broca’s area (arrowhead)
