Impaired cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) was supposed to cause dissociation between functional integrity and functional connectivity due to regional variation of CVR. And reversed linearity between functional connectivity and carbogen-based CVR suggested enhanced or neuroplasticity in patients of moyamoya disease. Underestimated or aberrant FC should be considered with impaired CVR, and studies of FC in diseased states need evidence of preserved CVR.
