A recent 7 Tesla study provided evidence for the
existence of resting state networks in the human spinal
cord by demonstrating inter-subject reproducibility of
temporal correlations between ventral (motor) gray
matter horns and between dorsal (sensory) gray matter
horns in healthy subjects. In this abstract we build
upon these findings and present measurements of
within-subject reproducibility of within-slice spinal
cord functional connectivity between ventral horns and
between dorsal horns. This work will be important for
future studies that rely upon these measurements to gain
insight into how these networks change due to aging,
injury, or disease.
