The impact of agenesis of the corpus callosum on resting state connectivity in the human brain is largely unknown. In this study, we apply well-established probabilistic independent component analysis (PICA) methods to BOLD fMRI time course data in a minimum deformation space to identify spatial independent components unique to and absent in callosal agenesis. Over 80% of neurotypical BOLD resting state networks identified by group PICA are preserved in adult AgCC subjects suggesting that compensatory networks established during brain development play a major role in this condition.
